Pretty much. I think it puts them in the top 500 richest people in the world. For spending £2 on a ticket.

EDIT: Scratch that, just double checked that fact. Think it's probably top 500 richest people in the UK.

what is that in dollars

HMRC doesn't count lottery wins as income. You do, however, pay tax on the interest you earn on the money though.

And there's inheritance tax when you die as well, but you're dead by then, so you don't need to worry too much about it.
