Family scoop €72m EuroMillions jackpot after ‘lucky’ call

A family who scooped a €72.7m jackpot in EuroMillions only bought the ticket after their mother rang from her holiday in Florida to say she was feeling lucky.

The five-strong syndicate made up of Stephanie Davies, 23, her boyfriend Steve Powell, 30, her sister Courtney, 19, their mum Sonia, 53, and Sonia’s partner, Keith Reynolds, 55, from Monmouth, hit the jackpot on Friday, July 29.

And Stephanie only purchased the six Lucky Dip tickets after receiving a call from her mother late on Friday evening.
