Not everybody has the same luck in this life, but you must make sure that when you get that luck, you also have a great opportunity to do good things that you might not do at other times. That is exactly what you should do when you win a jackpot or any of the prizes in a lottery game. We need to think of what good things we can do with the winning money instead of thinking of our own needs. You should try to learn from those many experiences by many winners of lottery in the world. Most of them have been so lucky but not many of them who can manage their money and finally end up with the condition of being broke. Sometimes it is not only about the way you spend the money but also the way you show your gratitude with the winning. You should realize that in the winning there are some parts that we should share with the people in need. Two people who have been so wise in doing this are the couple who luckily won the largest jackpot in Euro Millions lottery in July 2011, Christine and Colin Weir.

This couple who currently live in Largs, Scotland, has just celebrated the anniversary of the winning earlier this July. They scooped the biggest-ever amount of winning, not less than £161 million in Euro Millions on its draw, 12 July 2011. Due to such big fortune, they have certainly become centre of attention for publication. People keep on following on their news to see how they spend the money. As it’s said earlier, this couple has been wisely spending the money mostly for charities instead of carelessly wasting their money.

For a year since their big day of luck, Christine and Colin have shown to be a perfect example of how to be grateful for the luck. Colin Weir, who is a retired TV cameraman, and his wife Caroline, who used to be a nurse, have been very generous giving £1 million donation to the Scottish National Party in its aim to found the independent Scotland separating from UK. As other people would do first with the winning, the Weirs also did not forget giving lots of gifts to their family and friends.
They definitely realize that the lottery winning is also a privilege for them to be in the position of giving to the people in need. They also helped a lot in rescuing the Waverley steam boat so that it’s not decommissioned and they have given the sponsorship for a young race driver in the European Italian F3 European Abarth. They also have big contribution in a tennis academy placement in Spain by funding it. They seem to feel strong concern for the sports world since they also share some of their fortune to the National Sports Training Centre in its project of refurbishment and also to Largs Thistle Community Club to be revamped.

There are a lot of things that you need to learn of which is that we do not need to think too far to help the other people. The easiest is by sharing some of your wealth to the closest to you in heart. The Weirs are deeply concerned with their country and they definitely love sports. Some other people may wish to do more charities with the animals’ life or the orphanages with which they feel more connected. It does not matter whether you also want to celebrate your winning for your pleasure but remember that there are a lot out there who also have the rights to get the part of the fortune. So, what good things are you going to do with your coming fortune?
