According to this new millionaire; “it was a really shocking to hear that I have won €11.7 million jackpot”, and when this news finally sunk in, I just couldn’t believe my eyes….I was trembling and sweating…and had to call few of my friends to share the news. I’m still shocked with those millions dropping before my eyes! It’s just impossible for me to sleep, and I’ve still to figure out as to what I should do with the winnings. I should now calm down a bit, and then I’ll think on how to spend this huge money!
