Lottery record-breakers Colin and Chris Weir have sold the mansion they bought a month after their £161million jackpot. The winners of Britain’s biggest ever lottery prize didn’t need Knock House.

I know the people at the lottery and your own friends will have tried their hardest to ensure that you dont help anyone that approaches you for help and Im sure I will fall into that category – thats even if you do see this.

As with all the other messages you have received asking for help, Im in desperate straights. Infact, I used the last of what little cash i did have left to give to you in the way of a couple of lines on the Euro!

I know full well that all the advice you will have had will be to let people like me rot but I want you to know one thing – If the roles were reversed and I saw this message from you – I would help you in a heartbeat and without hesitation. I am not going to bore you with all the reasons why I need help and the associated ‘hard luck’ stories. I am sure by now you will have read hundreds, maybe even thousands of similar stories. I am simply going to say that just one days interest for you would sort things out for me and make such a massive difference to my life and those people that rely on me.

So, I have nothing to offer you except gratitude and GENUINE friendship. I am another ship in the night that didnt get the numbers right. You have the power to correct my course and I would be forever in your debt if you would ignore all the “Let them rot” advice people will be giving you and show me just a little compassion.

If the person reading this is a friend of Colin or Chris then of course I would be grateful if you could pass it on to them.

Im at the end of the road and I need a break. Its an amount you wouldnt even miss but would save me.

My email address is terry1312@yahoo.co.uk

Obviously if you make contact I will give you all the further info you need. I know I will probably get many emails mocking me as this blog goes live, but Im in desperate straights so needs must.

Colin & Chris – If you do get to read this, thanks for reading and please help.

The winner of one of the UK's biggest ever Euromillions jackpots has died after a short illness.

Colin Weir and his then-wife Chris, from Largs in North Ayrshire, scooped the £161m prize in July 2011.

The pair confirmed they would divorce earlier this year after 38 years of marriage.

A spokeswoman for his personal lawyers said: 'It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Colin Weir early today after a short illness.

The former TV cameraman, 71, made the Sunday Times Rich List after winning the Euromillions jackpot with then-wife Chris, a former psychiatric nurse.

It was announced in April that they were separating and the split was granted in September, according to reports.

They have two grown-up children.

In 2013, they set up The Weir Charitable Trust and made a donation to a community football club in Largs.

They also invested in Partick Thistle Football Club, which saw the team's youth set-up rebranded the Thistle Weir Youth Academy and part of their Firhill Stadium being renamed the Colin Weir Stand.

Last month, Mr Weir secured a majority shareholding in the club and promised to give the 55% he owned directly to a fans group by March 2020.

The club tweeted: 'It is with deep sadness that we confirm that lifelong Jags fan Colin Weir passed away earlier today.

The £161m they won in 2011 was the UK's biggest win until October this year, when an anonymous ticket holder claimed a £170m jackpot.
