REUTERS/Benoit Tessier/Illustration/File PhotoDec 9 (Reuters) - Christmas came early for 165 people from the small northern Belgian village of Olmen who won 142,897,164 euros ($150.81 million) in the EuroMillions lottery this week, the biggest group win ever in Belgium. She said it was the first time in Belgium that such a big group had won this much. "Many winning customers were in disbelief at first," said storekeeper Wim Van Broekhoven who was as stunned as his wife when they heard the winning numbers. "We have had quite a few new customers since the big win, but no one in the village holds any grudges against the winners," Van Broekhoven said. EuroMillions is a draw game of the National Lottery, organised in coordination with lotteries from France, Britain, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland and Luxemburg.
