Armagh couple in £115M jackpot win, row over leisure centre name, and Kegworth crash anniversary

BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, Armagh couple in £115M jackpot win, row over leisure centre name, and Kegworth crash anniversary

The fourth biggest UK lottery win ever. Armagh couple scoop £115M lottery jackpot.

The local EuroMillions lottery winners are revealed as Frances and Patrick Connolly from Moira, Co Armagh. Can you imagine what you would do if you won that amount of money?

It's the fourth biggest UK lottery win ever. £115 million scooped on New Years Day. The couple are from Armagh and their identity will be revealed later this morning. Would you go public if you won so much money? Or would you try and keep it a secret? And just how would you spend so much money? What's the first thing you would do? Vinny spoke to Colin Bell - he won £1 million last year, and Peter Lavery who won £10.2 million in 1996.

Also on the programme, former First Minister Peter Robinson has branded political opponents 'hypocrites' following calls for the east Belfast Robinson Centre to be renamed. The Centre - named after the former DUP leader is expected to re-open in the autumn after a multi-million pound redevelopment carried out by Belfast City Council. Sinn Fein and the SDLP say the council hasn't followed its own protocols on the naming of public facilities. But Mr Robinson has told the Nolan Show "They believe that it is not suitable to name a public facility after a democratically elected politician while their colleagues, elsewhere in County Down, defend naming a public facility after an IRA terrorist involved in one of the most heinous massacres in the history of the troubles." He says if the name is changed, it won't be disturbing his sleep. Vinny spoke to Seamus De Faoite from the SDLP and the commentator Nelson McCausland.

And, £114,969,775.70. The local EuroMillions lottery winners are revealed as Frances and Patrick Connolly from Moira, Co Armagh. Can you imagine what you would do if you won that amount of money? Would you go public? Would you remain anonymous? What would you do with all that money? Have you any idea? Vinny spoke to Jim McDowell and commentator Malachi O'Doherty.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country...
