A 26-year-old mother is celebrating after winning £1 million on a scratchcard she purchased on her break while working at a care home.
Sara Thomas, from Treharris in south Wales, had visited a local shop during her break as a care home assistant and picked up a National Lottery scratchcard at the till.
She said: “I don’t buy them often but I did get one a few weeks ago as a treat and my partner Sean jokingly said to me, ‘don’t buy them, you won’t win anything’.
A meat delivery van driver has won £1 million on a National Lottery Scratchcard, which he bought as he popped into a shop to buy a vape to help him quit smoking.
John McFadden, from Southampton, is one of several new millionaires celebrating their Lottery wins during the Easter weekend.
The 63-year-old, who drives vans delivering meat from butchers across the country, said: “I knew I had to do something about my smoking. With the change from buying the vape, I bought a Scratchcard and took it home.
“When I started scratching it off, it said £50,000 under the first number and I thought ‘whoopee!’. I carried on and just kept seeing more and more £50,000s. I thought it was a lot but didn’t know what to believe.”
