Alan and Claire can't believe their 'luck' after becoming millionaires overnight

Alan has regularly bought Lucky Dips for EuroMillions and Lotto using The National Lottery mobile app, but the email telling him to check his account still came as a surprise.

Alan said “At first I wasn’t sure if it was true but when I phoned Camelot and they confirmed we had won £1,000,000 we just couldn’t believe it. Things are now starting to sink in but it’s still pretty surreal.”

Alan and Claire have always loved to travel and the £1Million win on UK Millionaire Maker is going to enable them to visit plenty of their dream holiday spots.

“We have always loved to travel and still have lots of places on our bucket list to tick off. It’s very exciting to think that we can now do this. We’re already planning a trip to Dubai towards the end of the year.”

As well as travel, Alan and Claire have jumped headfirst into the millionaire lifestyle by planning trips to Michelin star restaurants. Alan’s also considering a new car, he’s got his eye on either an Audi or Honda.

The couple also got to enjoy phoning their daughter to share the news. Alan said “Our daughter lives down south so when we broke the news she thought we were winding her up. I think she might believe us now though! All our friends and family have been delighted for us.”
