A Scottish couple, who recently shot to fame by winning a staggering GBP 161,653,000 in the EuroMillions lottery draw, has really endeared themselves to me through interviews that they gave to local newspapers. Colin and Chris Weir are the type of people that you really feel deserves to win this amazing amount of cash. They are both pensioners who haven’t worked for a few years because of health problems. They’ve been married for 30 years and have two children. I liked their innocent comments, such as: “We were tickled pink. I even had a glass of wine, which is something I normally do at Christmas.” They also said that they can finally afford to give their 24 and 22 year old kids their first driving lessons – something that was out of reach financially until now. Congrats to the Weirs!
And speaking of driving lessons, these are a few real answers received on exams given by the California Department of Transportation driving school:
