Months after his jackpot win, Steve still works as a builder – After his win the builder promised not to let his customers down: but for what reason?

The new multi-millionaires told the Mirror newspaper after their win that they would take a couple of weeks holiday but intend to continue working. Thomson called the Jackpot win ‘really overwhelming’, which is very understandable. Steve and his wife Lenka say the money is ‘too much’ for them. The couple want to do a lot of good things with the money and, in his own words, Steve is going to be ‘sensibly generous’, he goes on to say he was ‘on the verge of having a heart attack’ when he realised he had matched all seven numbers after his win!

Mr Steve Thomson and his wife, shopworker Lenka, 41, said they plan to buy a new home so their children 8-year-old daughter & two sons aged 10 and 15 can finally have their own bedrooms. He also said the couple had made no big purchases as yet, just window shopping – although he did admit he went and bought himself a new shirt and had a haircut for when he was presented with the cheque.

A friend and neighbour of the family, Ellie Wood, 42, said: ‘Steve and his wife are salt of the earth. I’m not surprised that Steve is continuing to finish off work he had already on his books – that’s just the type of guy he is. He’d never leave anyone in the lurch’.

‘I’m just a normal guy and I don’t want this to change me. I’m a man of my word and I promised I would complete the work so that’s what I will do.’ While he was working on a customers porch, a neighbour enquired about having a new front door fitted at their home too. ‘Steve was happy enough to take on new work and made an appointment to visit the man’s address,’ an onlooker said.

The post EuroMillions player who has won £105M still works as a builder appeared first on Welovelotto News.

Didzis Pirags, 36, is a chef who won £1m on an online scratch card. He still turned up to work his shift at a pub on Christmas Day. Despite his huge win, the single father still needed to finish his shifts on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and over the weekend.

Pirags was taking his lunch break at the Hungry Horse Pub in Preston, Lancashire, on Saturday when he bought his winning ticket. He logged into his National Lottery account to use the £6.50 he had left over.

He began to play the Merry Millions Instant Win game in his flat above the pub.

“The first thing I scratched off said £1m.The nanny was there and I said ‘could you look at it, could you look at it please, I can’t believe it, is that £1m?'”

He also had to confirm with his boss because he was still in disbelief.

The winner says the money will allow him to provide the “best possible life” for his five-year-old son. He will be able to spend more time with his son, since he works 60 hours a week.

He hires a nanny to look after his son. Pirags completes regular 12-hour shifts, including at weekends, meaning he can only spend time with his son a couple of evenings a week.

Mr Pirags said he did not spoil his son over Christmas but bought him some headphones as an extra present. He revealed his win on Friday. The winner has bought a four-bedroom house for £280,000 with his money. Furthermore, he plans to buy a new car and give his current car to a friend.

When Frances and Patrick Connolly realized they had won a £115mEuroMillions jackpot, they sat in silence and stared at each other for 10 minutes. They then made a cup of tea.

The £114,969,775.70 prize makes the Connollys the fourth-biggest UK lottery winners in history. The win puts them in Northern Ireland’s rich list. They currently rent a terraced house in the village of Moira.

So began a new life for the couple from County Down in Northern Ireland on New Year’s Day. This is after scooping one of the biggest UK lotteries wins in history.

They went public with the news on Friday at a press conference outside Belfast. The Connollys announced they would share the prize with 50 friends and relatives.

“This is a massive sum of money and we want it to have a huge impact on the lives of other people we know and love, as well as on our future,” said Frances Connolly, 52, a teacher. “This win gives us the chance to really make a difference for our family and friends.”

“We couldn’t believe it!”

Patrick Connolly, 54, a businessman, said his wife “nagged” him into buying a ticket. He did buy a ticket online on 1 January, choosing the lucky dip option that selects random numbers. He did so without much expectation since the couple had never won more than £10.

Before going to bed, he checked the result and found they had the winning numbers. The numbers were 01, 08, 11, 25, 28, with lucky stars 04 and 06. He rechecked four times – “I was sure it was a scam” – before telling his wife: “I think I’ve got some good news for you.”

She did not believe him when he said they had hit the jackpot. “A couple of expletives later, which I’m trying not to say in front of you, I said: ‘It must be a joke.’ He said: ‘I wouldn’t joke about that.’ Then we just stared at each other for 10 minutes.”

They have been together for 30 years and have three daughters, one aged 30 and twins aged 24, and three grandchildren. One of their three daughters is in New Zealand doing a master’s degree. She is traveling home and, during her stopover, has upgraded from a hostel to a modest hotel after the win.

Frances Connolly said the couple had always been happy, but the win would make them a “hell of a lot happier”. She expected the limelight cast on them by their good fortune to fade. “There are no skeletons, there are no dirty pictures, there is not enough to keep us in the public eye,” she said.

What a start to the new year! Maybe you could continue this lucky streak if you played with Welovetto today!

Sadly, a man has died of cancer less than three weeks after winning $1m (£700,000) on the lottery.

Donald Savastano was just 52-years-old when he passed away over the weekend. He had recently been diagnosed with stage four cancer, according to an obituary on the Dignity Memorial funeral services website.

Ms. Scott said a friend of his came and told her that Mr. Savastano was very ill in hospital.

She said: ”He was self-employed, he didn’t have insurance, he hadn’t been feeling good for a while I guess, and when he got the money he went to the doctor”.

“He was very sick and that he had brain and lung cancer and that he was in the hospital and they didn’t think he was going to make it.”

She added: “I just wish he had more time with it.”

His death came less than a month after he became a millionaire after picking a winning New York Lottery scratchcard at a shop in his hometown of Sidney, a small community around 170 miles north of New York City.

He was planning to “buy a new truck, pay off some debt and invest for the future,” with his winnings.

He added: “This is going to change our lives to tell you the truth”.

Born in Queens, New York Savastano grew up on Long Island. He became a carpenter after working with his father as a child.

Furthermore, his obituary said that he worked for commercial companies. Then, after moving to Sidney, he managed to carve out a successful career as a self-employed carpenter.

“He was known for his high-quality work and perfectionism,” reads the obit. “He always tried to reach out and help those he could by teaching them ‘the right way to do things’”.
