Teeth whitening is popular among lottery winners.

Lottery winners tend not to splash out on flashy new cars and houses straight after winning big money, but they do look to get their teeth whitened, it has been claimed.

In a new book entitled We Won the Lottery by Danny Buckland, the unusual stories of what some winners spent their millions on are revealed.

The author highlighted the case of Sarah Cockings who was 21 when she won a jackpot of £3.4 million and treated her two sisters to breast enlargements.

In addition, other big spenders included one winner buying the title of “Lady”, another who purchased a whiskey factory and one winner who paid for all his friends and family to have their teeth whitened.

Elsewhere, anyone looking for teeth whitening services in Preston could be in luck, as a new surgery recently opened in the area.

Dr Nadim Majid is promoting his teeth whitening services as he understand that many people are uneasy about the colour of their smile.
