Guest at the SKL Million Event in Malta

20 candidates, two celebrity sponsors - and a million euro prize: that's what the SKL Million Event on the Mediterranean island of Malta was all about. Our readers Heike and Ingrid, who won this fantastic trip in our prize draw, were also there. But it wasn't just the wonderful time out on the dream island that made a lasting impression on the two women from Mönchengladbach, especially the meeting with Francis Fulton-Smith.

The man from Lower Franconia can no longer work as a hotel manager for health reasons, but he won't let that get him down. Small things count for him, such as his 450-euro job at the senior citizens' transport service. He and his partner Brigitte are fulfilling a dream with their winnings: a cruise.
