Flu-hit €126m winner feared job loss

A 25-YEAR-OLD Spanish woman scooped the world’s biggest lottery jackpot in last week’s €126 million EuroMillions draw, it has emerged.

The winner, who is not married but has a boy-friend, was unaware of her incredible luck for several days because she was in bed with the flu, Spanish newspaper El Pais reported. She only discovered her massive win late on Monday when she returned to work.

The woman, from Majorca, was still ill but went back to her job fearing she could be sacked because of the economic crisis gripping Spain. She finally discovered she was sitting on the prize when she turned on her phone on Monday.
