Wales continues to be the place to be a UK lottery winner.
A syndicate based in Neath won ?136 Xavier Woods Womens Jersey ,672 by matching five numbers and the bonus ball in the draw of Sat 29 July. Over ?100,000 is a great win, for anyone, but for this syndicate it's very handy cash as the syndicate is made up of 60 retired Police officers.
It falls to syndicate leader Aneurin Bealing to buy and check the ticket each week, but when he ticked off five numbers and the bonus number he had to keep checking and rechecking before he was sure enough to contact the others.
The syndicate has been playing for 10 years and this is their first big win worth sharing, previous smaller wins have just been put back into the kitty.
Aneurin plans a super holiday to Australia with his wife, to visit their daughter, and he's sure that many of the other syndicate members are planning some well-earned treats for themselves. The winning ticket was bought at Tesco in Port Talbot.
And then just one week later it's another big win in Wales, this time a ?250,000 Thunderball prize won in Aberdare by a family of Cardiff City fans.
Danusia Phillips who has her own driving school was looking through paperwork in front of the TV on Saturday 5 August when she heard her numbers being read out for the Thunderball draw.
She just stared at the screen as each of her numbers came up and then she ran downstairs with tears in her eyes to tell her partner, Terry, and the three children. Everyone checked the numbers before daring to believe it was true and now the first plan is a family holiday, their first since 1998.
Then they will probably buy a caravan in Tenby so family members have somewhere to stay and visit, and have a big party for friends and family.
The couple are also looking forward to cutting down on their working hours so they can spend more time with their family.
Danusia knew her numbers 3,4,7,11,19 and 3 as she plays them regularly, but this winning ticket was bought at Woolworth's on Commercial St, Aberdare.
When Pat and John Davies decided to use the ages of their daughters and granddaughters to pick their lottery numbers, they had no idea how lucky that decision would be.
Not only did they get four numbers correct on one line, they got all six and the jackpot with their second line. The ticket, bought at Tesco where a daughter and granddaughter work, won ?2,254,572 on 5 August 2006.
Both John and Pat are retired but decided to check their lottery ticket against the results posted on the Internet on the Saturday night, instead of waiting for Sunday's paper.
Realising they were winners, they could not believe it. So they checked, checked again, called their daughters and then had a sleepless night. Like many winners their first dilemma was where to keep the ticket safe. Should it be under the mattress, on the mantelpiece? Pat decided that her purse was the best bet, as at least there she'd not forget where she's put it!
The first purchase the couple plan to make is a laptop computer, and then they are off on a holiday. Once back there will be no shortage of people to spend the money on as they have a large family including five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
The couple's winning numbers were 3,11,13,18,26,31 (bonus ball 35), and the ticket was bought at Tesco in Cosham High Street, Portsmouth.
Many people have found that joining an online syndicate such as e-lottery increases their chances of winning. With a pool of 49 players in each syndicate the group is always guaranteed to have the 'bonus ball' number in every draw.

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 20 (Xinhua) -- Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff said Friday if the National Congress approves her government's spending cuts and tax increases, the country will " soon" overcome its economic crisis.
"Together, by approving the belt-tightening measures, we will get out of this soon," Rousseff told an official event in southern Rio Grande do Sul state, taking place in conjunction with Brazil's Landless Workers Movement (MST).
"Belt-tightening is part of life. Everyone does it. We're not belt-tightening because we like it, we are doing it so the country can continue to grow, generating employment and carrying out social policies," she said.
The president is trying to push through the unpopular measures at a time when public patience with officials is at all-time low, thanks largely to an embarrassing and ongoing corruption scandal at state oil giant Petrobras.
Over the weekend, disgruntled Brazilians took to the streets in one of the largest anti-government demonstrations ever in Latin America's largest economy.
Rousseff, who began her second term as president in January, last year tried to revive the slowing economy through numerous incentive packages, but they failed to spur economic activity.
Underscoring the importance of adopting the fiscal measures, she said the government "has no way to continue absorbing" the costs of the previous incentives and had to try a different approach.
