Forget the Lottery. Become a banker. From the Mirrors splash: While millions of Britons turn to the lottery in a bid to become fabulously wealthy, fatcat bankers clearly only need to wait for their bonuses. Barclays and Lloyds made more millionaires than Camelot last year – shelling out 508 mega-buck payments to swell the bulging accounts of bosses. A lucky 335 people won the lottery, raking in more than £682million between them. But Barclays lavished £1million bonuses on 481 senior staff, despite a 32% slump in profits, a warning to 7,000 ordinary workers they face the axe and the Libor rate-rigging and PPI mis-selling scandals still hanging over them. Lloyds paid 27 chiefs almost £1million extra. The move sparked anger among unions and bank floor staff, who earn an average of £20,000.
