5 of the Biggest Tax-Free Pay Checks in Britain

Those of us who love to place a few odd pounds on a game every now and again have high hopes of winning. However, winning isn't the ultimate goal, it's winning BIG that counts. Some have lost by just a hair-length and others have been stunned to win millions because they randomly placed a sports bet based on a name or even a dream they'd had. Since Britain doesn't impose income tax on winnings, this is where you can go to win a big tax-free pay check and if you're lucky, you just might rank amongst these biggest winners we've found for you.

Euromillions Lotto - 24 October, 2014

Here is a really wonderful pay check for 1 lucky winner from the UK. Having entered the Euromillions jackpot for 24 October, 2014, this winner earned a phenomenal 190 million euro pay check. That is quite a feat. Imagine almost 1/5^th of a billion euros in just one win, and with no taxes to pay in the UK? Amazing. Simply amazing.

Another Euromillions Big Winner for the UK - 12 July, 2011

While other big winners of Euro lotteries and jackpots hail from Portugal, Italy, Belgium and the Czech Republic, the UK can boast 2 of the top 6 which is pretty amazing in itself. In third place behind the UK and Portugal, another UK winner took the third spot with a 185 million euro win. That's two of the top three lotto pay checks that are tax free for UK winners. How great is that?

£161 Million Pay Check for Welsh Husband and Wife in National Lottery

While some winners wish to remain anonymous like others listed on this page, this Welsh couple went public with their win. In 2011 the couple won an amazing £161 million on the National Lottery and while buying cars, a mansion, trips and other luxuries, the couple is said to have donated to charities of their choosing. Mr and Mrs Weir did not choose to fly under the radar so their names could gladly be published.

£113 Lotto Winner in 2010 Wishing to Remain Anonymous

Here is another big pay check and of course, if you had just won £113 million tax-free would you like your name published? This leaves it open to speculation as to whether or not it could be an elderly couple, a single mum or someone who would otherwise feel unprotected from the vultures scooping in when the news is announced. Even so, with that much of a win, you could hire your own security firm and still be set for a lifetime!

A £1 Million New Year Sun Bingo Prize

This year the ever popular Sun Bingo had a grand jackpot of £1 million for the New Year's game. Whilst it may not seem as big as those other lotto jackpots above, it is a huge win for one lucky bingo player and what a great way to usher in the New Year. Bingo is fun and social and this is why most people play. Yes, it's really, really nice to bring home a big tax-free pay check like that but the fun is in the camaraderie with mates playing and chatting as you go.

If these don't inspire you to get out and buy a lotto ticket or join the fun at Bingo, nothing probably will! You don't need to be lucky but you can't win if you don't play. Remember, Lady Luck chooses when she wants to smile on you so if you want to get noticed, you have to be there. Good luck and happy gaming!
