If you were to win the Euromillions, what would be the first thing you'd do? Jet off to the Maldives? Throw a massive party? At the very least you'd get down to the pub to celebrate being rich.
But what happens when you win during a huge global pandemic where everyone is on total lockdown? Well - not a lot really. One Brit won an unbelievable £57,869,670 ($67m) jackpot last night - although they've still not come forward.
Of course, during times like these, when commodities like loo roll are potentially more valuable than money, people just had to take to Twitter to take the p***.
One person joked: "Winning £60 million would be lovely but you can't celebrate it with family and friends, you can't go on holiday to let it sink in, at least you can pay to reserve some toilet paper."

Another jibed: "Just seen someone in the UK has won almost £58m on the EuroMillions. Poor f***er can't collect the cheque for six weeks and then can't go anywhere apart from Blackpool or Margate for the next two years."
Someone else pointed out: "Shame they can't go to the pub to celebrate."
And even National Lottery got in on the joke.
When one person tweeted: "Breaking news, winner to spend winnings on loo roll," National Lottery replied, joking: "The softest ones imaginable!"
And although making light of serious situations is what Brits do best, it's important to remember how serious the coronavirus pandemic is.

The announcement follows today's daily coronavirus briefing, which announced that all UK schools are set to close as of Friday afternoon in a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19), it has been announced today (18 March).
The decision has been made following staff sickness as many have been forced to stay at home and look after their relatives.
