I won the lottery and I'm sick of hate from jealous men – I earned this, they just hate my confidence
A LOTTO winner has hit back at bitter trolls who have tried to mock her appearance and windfall - insisting she's "earned" her new life. Olivia Love, who was previously on Universal Credit, scooped £10,000-a-month for a year alongside hubby Kevin last month. Advertisement 2 Olivia Love won big on the lottery in June Credit: TikTok/@mrsolivialove 2 She's been trolled over her £10,000-a-month for a year prize Credit: ALAN PEEBLES PHOTOGRAPHY The 36-year-old, from Glasgow, has been able to quit her job at a local supermarket, and hire a cleaner and gardener. Thanks to her massive tax-free win, she's also launched her own business as a Before this, the mum-of-four was earning just £800-a-month working in a supermarket's customer service kiosk. She was on benefits to subsidise her eye-watering £1,800-a-month childcare costs and "dreaded" her council tax bill coming through. Advertisement Since going public with her win, Olivia has been giving social media users an inside peek at the life of a lottery winner. She's been branded "embarrassing" and cruelly body shamed over her videos, with trolls even hoping she's left jobless and without a penny at the end of her 12-month windfall. And she revealed it's mostly hateful men who resent her big win. In a TikTok clip ( Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Latest Breaking "With the win came judgement, assumptions and a lot of hate. Especially from men who can't stand to see a woman win. "Just for being proud of my life. For spreading hope and positivity. For being proud of what this win does for my children. EXCL Woman who dumped boyfriend after winning £1m scratchcard jackpot splashes cash with NEW man - while leaving ex with nothing "Almost every hateful comment I get comes from men. When a woman is confident, when she shares her success, some men can't handle it. If a man posted this win, would you call him embarrassing? Or would it be inspiring?" But the proud mum has refused to let the trolls get to her or stop her from sharing her lotto life. Advertisement She insisted: "I'm not here to be small, quiet or even easy to digest. I'm here because I earned this. "If that makes you uncomfortable, that's not my problem. "[And] there are women out here choosing love. Choosing celebration. Choosing to lift each other up. "These are the voices I hear loudest. This is the energy I'm listening to. Advertisement "The ones who said you deserve it. The ones that laughed with me when the trolls came. The ones that reminded me that my win isn't just about money. It's about joy and freedom and sharing moments that matter. "Thank you to every kind woman that showed up." LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT Set For Life offers a top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years when the five main numbers and the Life Ball are matched. Players can also win £10,000 a month for a whole year by matching the five main numbers. Advertisement Olivia revealed she did six lucky dips at £1.50 each on the app, with one of them bagging the second tier prize of the cash for a year. She's never played her own numbers, explaining: 'I've always had the fear that if you did play your own numbers the one time you didn't play it, that would be the time your numbers came in.' She was shocked when she received an email from The National Lottery team at 12.33am on May 16 June that changed everything for this couple. Advertisement The winning numbers in the draw were: 03, 27, 42, 45, 46, plus Life Ball 06. Before she won, she had been playing sporadically for four to five months and would play when she had the 'notion to do it.' And despite winning, she still hasn't stopped buying lucky dips 'from time to time.' DOWNSIDE While buying items like her hubby's car has brought her 'so much joy', there are some downsides to the winnings. Advertisement Olivia has had people message her to beg for money, with one saying: 'Can I have like £20,000 to pay my debts off?' As a result, the Lottery winner said: "I've got my dms very closed.' Since going public with her win, Olivia has hilariously joked about wiping away fake tears with £20 notes in response to Read more on the Irish Sun However, she said it has changed her life for the better, saying: 'I feel like I can be more present now. Enjoy more moments. Advertisement 'The stress I felt before stopped me enjoying the little things.' What are my chances of winning the lottery? EVERYONE wants to know how to beat the odds and win the lottery. But unfortunately, the lottery is a game of luck and there are no tips or tricks that can guarantee you'll take home a top prize. The odds show how likely you are to win any particular prize - the lower the number, the better the odds. For example, odds of 1 in 10 are better than odds of 1 in 100 or 1 in 1,000. There are several major lottery games in the UK including Lotto by the National Lottery, Camelot's EuroMillions and Thunderball. Chances of winning the Lotto Lotto by the National Lottery is a game where you pick six numbers from 1 to 59. You can play up to seven lines of numbers on each slip. The game costs £2 to play per slip. The odds of winning any prize on the Lotto are 1 in 9.3. But to win the jackpot on the Lotto, the odds are considerably slimmer. To bag the top prize, you need to have six matching balls. The odds of doing this and scooping the jackpot are currently 1 in 45,057,474. The next highest prize of £1,000,000 is for getting five main matching balls plus the bonus ball. The odds of taking home the million pound prize are 1 in 7,509,579 - far higher than the jackpot, but still unlikely. The odds of taking home £1,750 for getting five main numbers without the bonus ball are 1 in 2,180, while you have a 1 in 97 chance of bagging £140 for getting four main numbers. Your chances of taking home £30 for getting 3 main numbers are much better at 1 in 97. And you have a roughly 1 in 10 chance of getting a free lucky dip for 2 matching numbers. Chances of winning the EuroMillions The EuroMillions costs £2.50 to play and is open on Tuesdays and Fridays. To play, you must pick five numbers from 1-50 and two "Lucky Stars" from 1-12. Players with the most matching numbers win the top prizes. Your chance of bagging the EuroMillions jackpot is even slimmer than winning the top Lotto prize. This is because it generally has higher jackpots on offer, meaning it attracts more attention. Currently, the odds of matching five numbers and two lucky stars - the top win - stand at 1 in 139,838,160. The average jackpot prize is £57,923,499, according to EuroMillions. The odds of winning the second top prize for matching 5 balls and a lucky star, which is typically around £262,346, are 1 in 6,991,908. The chances of taking home the third prize for five matching balls, with an average payout of £26,277, are 1 in 3,107,515. For four matching balls with two lucky stars, it's 1 in 621,503, and for four balls with one lucky star, it's 1 in 31,076. These come with an average prize of £1,489 and £95, respectively. Chances of winning the Thunderball Thunderball is another game run by National Lottery where you pick five numbers and one "Thunderball". It costs just £1 to play and you can enter up to four times a week. The jackpot of £500,000 for matching five balls plus the Thunderball is 1 in 8,060,598. Your odds of bagging the next highest prize of £5,000 for matching five balls is currently 1 in 620,046, while the chances of winning £250 for four balls plus the Thunderball is 1 in 47,416. You have the best chance of winning £3 for matching the Thunderball, with odds of 1 in 29.

Ireland's newest Lotto millionaire 'delighted' as he reveals goal
What would you do with a spare €1 million? Ireland's latest Lotto millionaire seems to have it all figured out. A Laois man has become Ireland's fifth Daily Million millionaire of 2025 after scooping a life-changing €1 million prize in the 9pm draw on Friday, July 18. The long-time punter always believed the day would come, and rushed to National Lottery HQ to collect his prize this week after keeping the winning ticket safely tucked away in his wallet since the draw. Pic: Derick P. Hudson/Shutterstock. The winning numbers at the 9pm Daily Millions draw on Friday, July 18 were 9, 20, 25, 33, 37, 39 and the bonus was 29. Speaking to the National Lottery, the lucky Laois man said: 'I am delighted with this win. I'm looking forward to being able to share the win with my family. 'I have a strong work ethic so my goal is to be sensible with the win, pursue some business interests, but also enjoy more time for myself and with my family.' Pic: Getty Images While there have been several decent wins since, the mega EuroMillions jackpot win in Cork is still on everyone's minds. The family syndicate, who purchased their truly life-altering ticket in Clifford's Centra on Shannon Street, Cork City, revealed they'll still be enjoying 'ham and cheese sambos for lunch' despite becoming overnight millionaires. Understandably, the family have opted to remain anonymous, but admitted the life-changing windfall has been 'surreal.' Pic: ChrisDorney/Shutterstock One member admitted that they were a regular player but hadn't picked up a ticket for the two previous draws, but decided to buy one on their way to an appointment. 'I was watching the Nine O'Clock News and saw that someone in Ireland had the winning EuroMillions ticket,' they shared, 'Naturally, I got my ticket and scanned it on the National Lottery app, and a message popped up, 'You've won big, contact the National Lottery.' 'I ran upstairs to my wife who had just gone to bed and woke her up. We both checked the numbers multiple times on the website. 'We sat on the edge of the bed saying, 'Oh my god' over and over. We were in total shock, complete disbelief.'
