“Heavens above! I’m shaking with shock. This is wonderful!”

The generous grandfather said his large family was at the very top of his Lotto List.

“I have a number of children and grandchildren that I will certainly be helping out,” he said.

“They won’t believe me when I tell them I’ve won the lottery!
