I don't understand why they went public in the first place. The UK lottery allows winners the remain anonymous.

Judging from how they are spending their new-found wealth, it will soon be frittered away, and then people won't bother them anymore.

It's a fun amount of $$$s to have netted. The staircase sounds uplifting! I think this couple will be happier, in the long run, if they go with a smaller 5 car, extra tall garage ... holding 4 cars and 1 big tractor to mow the 3 acres or whatever it is. Probably best to only have 1 first floor servant quarters for one full-time grocery shopper/cook/cleaner. Better to have only one other servant as part-time gardener/groundskeeper. This should certainly put their mansion at a more reasonable pric... [ More ]

Looks like a house from The Jetsons.

I hope it's one of those self sufficient homes with solar power or something

so they won't have a light bill.

May the couple live long, be healthy since they already got the wealthy down pretty good.

Not a fan of the style of architect. They get to build their dream home. Operative word theirs .

Different Strokes for Different Folks. These two lotto winners are young and idealistic. I wish them the best, but it does seem that they are making some unwise choices with their money. This strange concept home being the biggest one. I wish I had the money to build my dream home too. Good Luck on your Dream House/Mansion! May it be everything you hoped it would be

It is their money, they should enjoy it how they want. although talking to that guy who lost the 4.7 mill might be a good idea on seeing how plans can go wrong.

the fact that theyre not taling about investing and protecting the capital, ad just spending the capital says they wont have it long. i hope im wrong and the reporter just found all tat talk a little boring and cut it from the article

Although It appears its a flood zone, the house has some new interesting modification underway. It will be designed like an ark.

So it will float.

The current picture just looks like a dead War of the World alien monster.

What happened to just a little cute buckyball

If they are broke in 5 years someone will be able to pick it up for half what they spent on it.

I am all for originality but does anyone really need underground parking for 10 cars? They could have scaled this down and still been quite original. I hope they have money left in 5 years.

EuroMillions lottery winners to build unusual home

Lottery Post — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:49:02 GMT

Once you've bought your 100,000 Jaguar XKR-S, paid off Dad's mortgage and given your best friend more than 1 million, how do you start wasting spending the rest of a 45 million lottery win?

The answer for Matt and Cassey Topham, a former decorator and supermarket worker from Nottingham who scooped the EuroMillions jackpot last year, is to erect a futuristic mansion on a suburban avenue with all the trappings of a James Bond villain's lair.

The couple on Thursday submitted a planning applic... [ More ]
