We often hear about lottery winners and their plans to use the prize winnings. But what do they really end up doing? Officials recently caught up with two UK National Lotto winners from Nuneaton who won £1 Million in September 2019.
Double the luck!
Martin recalled how he had won a Lucky Dip on the previous Lotto draw and decided to play the following draw with his wife. Incredibly, the Lucky Dip was even luckier and won! After learning that their Lotto draw results had the winning numbers, Martin and Debbie were overjoyed. They had the 5 main numbers and bonus ball required to win the top prize in the Lotto draw on 18 September 2019.
Lanzarote Lifestyle
After winning, Martin was quick to splash out on a new Volkswagen T-Roc. The special purchase was well-deserved and will be great to help transport fishing tackle for much-loved family fishing trips.
When the couple first spoke with officials last year, they were looking forward to planning for a future in the sunshine and treating their family.
“We’ve always dreamed of having our own little place in Lanzarote. We’re now in a position where we can actually do this, we can live our dream and go out there several times a year, perhaps even spend winters out there. And our relatives can use it too. One day we’d love to move to Lanzarote full time.”
The National Lottery team were lucky enough to catch up with the winners again one year later. True to their word, the winning couple has indeed bought a holiday home in Lanzarote! The clean beaches, friendly people, and the calm environment is everything they could dream of and truly paradise for the couple.
