“Thank you so much,” he laughed.
“That’s a nice win – wow!
“I’m in a bit of shock. I’m shaking!
"I just got back from the doctors. I rushed home and called my granddaughter to come help me.
“I usually check my tickets on the weekend and I didn’t realise I had won anything.
“These are my late wife’s numbers. I’m here with my granddaughter and she just reminded me that they’re her numbers. It’s a very special win, that’s for sure.
“I’ll keep the win hush-hush for a while.
“In the meantime, I’ll celebrate with my granddaughter, and we’ll have to go out for a nice dinner!”
