Brother of Lotto winner Jane stabbed outside bar

- By CAITLYN DEWAR

Edinburgh’s most famous Lotto millionair­e Jane Park saw her younger brother bleeding on a pavement after being stabbed on their first night out together since lockdown.

The attacker struck outside a sports bar after Jane, who was Britain's youngest Euromillio­ns jackpot winner at 17, and her 23-yearold brother William had watched last weekend's Champions League final.

The ‘Rambo-style’ blade punctured William's lung and damaged his spleen.

A friend of Jane said: "Billy is so lucky to be alive."

She has stayed at his bedside in hospital following the attack near Oxford, where William lives.

The friend added: "Jane and her brother seemed to haveagreat­eveningwat­ching Manchester City v Chelsea and then Billy was talking to some friends outside the bar after it closed.

"Jane wanted to get home so she walked on ahead. A couple of minutes later she heard some commotion.

"That's when it was clear he had been attacked. She ran back and quickly tried to help him but he was bleeding out on the pavement."

Police said an 18-year-old local man was arrested on suspicion of affray and causing grievous bodily harm with intent, and has been released on police bail.

Jane, now 25, from Edinburgh, scooped the £1 million Euromillio­ns jackpot in 2013 while she was working an £8-an-hour temp job and living in a council flat.

She spent her winnings on cars and a boob job, and recently revealed that she had her bum lift redone and liposuctio­n in Turkey this year.

She spent the first part of this year in Dubai.
