What do new millionaires spend their winnings on?
NOTTS has had its fair share of luck in 2012, with more than £90 million won since January.
Alan and Kim Elliott from Aspley are the latest millionaires. They will be spending their winnings on their family and friends.
They followed on from Jim and Maureen Emerton, who won £4.45 million in March and plan to spend their new found fortune on a new house.
Meanwhile the Euromillions draw found fame with two of the biggest winners ever in the UK. Matt Topham and Cassey Carrington won £46 million in February and in late January Gareth and Catherine Bull scooped £40 million.

And these winners are just those who have gone public.
But what do these fortunate folk buy?
We at the National Lottery have gazed behind the expensive net curtains of lottery winners' mansions across the country and the findings are not what you might expect.
Half of winners move home within three months of their win, but what are essentials any new millionaire needs in their new abode?
Well, 24 per cent of winners have bought electric gates to improve security.
Inside their homes, 28 per cent have got a walk-in wardrobe, 22 per cent have bought a games room, 17 per cent have decided a snooker table is a good way to spend their cash, while 16 per cent have had a gym installed.
Meanwhile, 12 per cent have decided they need somewhere to store all of that champagne and bought themselves a bar.
One millionaire even admitted having three pianos.
It seems the essential millionaire item outside the house is a hot tub, with 29 per cent buying one, while nine per cent have had a lake put in their grounds and one winner even deciding on a wishing well.
Perhaps surprisingly only 30 per cent of millionaires have a cleaner, but 24 per cent keep their fingers clean by employing a gardener.
And if you are looking for a little animal magic to bring you luck you need to stick with man's best friend – 22 per cent of millionaires have a new dog, but only four per cent have a cat.
So it seems that when planning your spending any millionaire needs to needs these essentials – a giant wardrobe, a hot tub, a cleaner and a dog.
