A syndicate of bus drivers who scooped a staggering £38m EuroMillions jackpot have been speaking of their joy at the "life-changing" win. According to SkyNews, the winners were revealed at a press conference at the Best Western Rockingham Forest Hotel in Corby.

The drivers - the fifth UK EuroMillions jackpot winners in 2012 - began their syndicate around three years ago and won a total of £212 during 2011, just over £18 each. They did slightly better this time, all picking up £3.1m.
Syndicate leader Chris Smith said: "This win means so much and is life-changing for everybody - people can live their dreams and help out their families."
Describing the moment he realised they had won the jackpot, he added: "I always try to watch the draw show live, or record it, and check off all of our numbers.
"On Friday my partner checked half our numbers and I checked the other half - she just passed the winning ticket over and paused the TV on the numbers.
"We kept looking at it and passing it between each other about four or five times. We couldn't really believe that they all matched."
