🎉 Talk about luck! Peter Rogers, a 73-year-old from Merthyr Tydfil, is over the moon after taking home a cool £1 million from the National Lottery. Imagine this: you’re just doing your usual grocery run, buy a ticket on a whim, and BAM—life-changing news flashes up on the screen!
Peter, who’s passionate about boxing, initially thought there was a glitch when the ticket machine prompted him to contact the National Lottery. He even checked it at another shop just to be sure! But it turns out, the jackpot was real, and it was all his. 🥊💥
One of the first things on Peter’s to-do list? Finding a new home to accommodate his wife Rosa’s needs and crossing off a bucket list item—catching a big fight night at Madison Square Garden in New York!
Peter and Rosa, who share three children, are set to exchange their town centre home for a cosy, more suitable bungalow. For Peter, providing this dream home means more than any other purchase with his winnings. 🏡✈️
Sharing in the excitement, their family remains in awe of this incredible stroke of luck. Andy Carter from Allwyn, the National Lottery operator, sent out a huge congrats to the couple, who now get to embark on this thrilling new chapter.
Peter’s tale is a heartwarming reminder that sometimes, even the smallest decisions can lead to the biggest surprises. Here’s to new adventures and dreams coming true! 🌟
