A computer maintenance engineer is celebrating a £500,000 lottery win a year after having surgery for cancer.
"Now, thanks to my Thunderball luck, I can afford to take a week off – unpaid – and head back for a little winter sun, and to celebrate with my friends over there. I may also do a little house-hunting while I’m on the island. It would be nice to have a bolthole for the future, and it will also be a way to share my good fortune with those closest to me who will be able to use it for their holidays too.
He continued: "Even when I logged on later that day to buy my EuroMillions ticket, I didn’t look more deeply into the message that popped up congratulating me on a win." Overwhelmed with joy, he said, "I think I actually floated there – I certainly felt like I was on cloud nine!"
