A Scot has penned a bizarre letter claiming to be the winner of the record-breaking Euromillions jackpot - and posted it to the newsagent rumoured to have sold the ticket. Residents and shopkeepers from the seaside town of Formby, Merseyside, found themselves embroiled in talk that the £195million winning ticket was bought in their town last month.
One employee of a local shop Bargain Booze even went as far to say that they were certain they sold the winner the multi-million-pound ticket. However, someone claiming to be the winner of the huge jackpot - who says they are from Paisley - has tried to put the rumours to rest in a mysterious hand-written letter sent to the booze store.
Just a day after the numbers were drawn on July 20, a record £195million was claimed by one lucky ticket holder in the UK. Immediately after the winnings were claimed, the Merseyside town was gripped by a rumour that spread like wildfire, reports the Liverpool Echo.
