Smart people.
I think so.
40M pounds sterling? They need to contribute to the FReepathon!
They need to give it all to the government so it can distribute it fairly and equally to those who really need it.
“...nipping off down the other end of the pitch to ring each other and scream down the phone”.
I wish they’d speak Englsh.

Football- soccer
Nipping off- taking a little time off from another task
The pitch- the sports field
To ring-to make a phone call
Scream down- speak loudly at the other end of
The pitch is the soccer field. Basically i think it is saying that when they won the two were at opposite ends of the field and they ca.led each other and were screaming with joy about winning the lottery
Thanks for the translation(s).
I sure wish the English would learn to speak English.

Bottom of the story has tales of other lottery winners...
Another lottery wasted...I would have been to Asia twice by now....
