After they had recovered from the shock of the news, the happy wife revealed how they came to hold the winning numbers.

“While that might have to wait for a bit we’ll be doing some planning while in lockdown.
“We’ll also be able to pay off the mortgage. We’ll be mortgage-free and then some.
“It’s a great feeling!”
