“This is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me!” he proclaimed.

“I saw the results and checked the numbers and didn’t believe it.

“I pinched myself once, twice and then a third time to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.

“Now I know I can live comfortably for the rest of my life and just enjoy every day as it comes.

“This really is amazing. Thank you so much!”

“There are a lot of numbers to match and I believed it would never happen for me,” he laughed.

“Always the bridesmaid and never the bride, well not anymore!”
