Yes, that's 113 million pounds. In a lump sum. Tax free!

And the ticket has yet to be claimed.

It could be you!

A rather obcene amount for one person? It has been often shown in follow ups that folk that win very large amounts often don't live very happy lifes,strange as that may sound.

I know people disagree, but I strongly believe that yes, lotteries are a tax on the stupid. A license to print money IMHO; for every buck they give away, they're taking in two. You never hear about professionals, doctors, executives etc. winning the lottery.
Most people that "win" have never come into that amount of money on a daily basis, hence the crash and burn once they win.

Still, that amount would buy me that bugatti veyron and french estate that has been just a little bit out of my reach

Wow. A typical socialist view point. He/she won it, doesn't matter if its to one person or a hundred. More power to them. Its THEIR money.
