Putting Down a Deposit for a New Home
A fortunate punter who won £10,000-a-month for a year has shared the first thing he wanted to buy with his massive prize. Sam Lawton, a 23-year-old dad-of-one from Leamington Spa, won the life-changing amount after playing the lottery for the first time. Sam and his girlfriend, Connie Bell, immediately decided that their top priority was to put a deposit down for a new family home. Sam also mentioned that getting a driving license was next on his list, along with buying a car, possibly a BMW 1 series. The win has given him the opportunity to learn to drive and become a car owner right away, which he finds amazing.
A Surprising Win
Sam Lawton revealed that he decided to play the Set For Life lotto draw on a whim. While he was in the bath, he saw someone celebrating their win and thought he would give it a try. He downloaded the National Lottery app, added £10 to his account, and played a Lucky Dip. Less than two hours later, he received a flood of messages notifying him of his incredible jackpot win. Sam, who had never played before, asked his girlfriend and her brother, who had experience with the National Lottery, to confirm the win.
Celebrations and Life-Changing Moments
In a similar vein, another lucky winner of the Set For Life Draw, Paul Bevans, 50, celebrated his win by treating his workmates to bacon butties. He purchased the breakfast rolls from his favorite café and announced to his friends, "Tuck in, I’ve won the lottery." Additionally, John Stembridge, a 51-year-old plasterer from Trowbridge, Wiltshire, shared how winning the £10k-a-month prize has changed his life after more than 20 years in the industry. He almost threw away the winning ticket, which was tucked behind the visor in his van, but something compelled him to check it first.
Using the Cash for a Family Home
It seems that winning the £10,000-a-month prize has prompted many winners to think about their families. Along with Sam Lawton and Connie Bell, another lucky punter revealed plans to use their winnings to buy a family home. The generous winner, who won £90,000, decided that their first purchase would not be for themselves but for their loved ones.
