In the Money: The HP staff have yet to be named

After a weekend of searching, the national media has revealed that a syndicate of HP staff are the lucky winners of half the £90m EuroMillions jackpot.

According to an article on the Metro website, the team only formed its syndicate - now called the Magnificent Seven, four months ago. They all work at a Liverpool BT call centre on behalf of HP.

The winners have been revealed as John Walsh, 57, James Bennett, 28, Sean Connor, 32, Alex Parry, 19, Emma Cartwright, 23, Ceri Scullion, 35 and Donna Rhodes, 39.

Each one will bank an impressive £6.5m.

The other half of the bumper jackpot was won by a couple from Newport, south Wales - Les and Samantha Scadding.
