Great grandfather plans dream family holiday

85-year-old great grandfather Robert Bruce from Penrith in Scotland is looking forward to the holiday of a lifetime after winning the Lotto jackpot.

Robert said: "The first thing I will be doing is treating my family. I’ve always wanted to go on a family cruise so this could be my chance to make that dream a reality.

"I have to keep pinching myself and telling myself this is really happening and that my family and I have really won the lottery!"

"I have to keep pinching myself and telling myself this is really happening and that my family and I have really won the lottery!"

Robert, who has three children, four grandchildren and three great grandchildren, won his £ 727,308 jackpot on a Wednesday Lotto draw.

On discovering the win, Robert said: "I checked my numbers online on Wednesday evening and was just in total shock when I saw I had matched all six numbers.

"I could not believe my eyes and immediately shouted to my son Scott to ask him to double check. When he said yes I really did have all six numbers I just screamed with delight and then Scott started to scream too. It was an amazing feeling."

Robert continued: "Once Scott had confirmed that I wasn’t seeing things we rang my daughters, Marian and June, to tell them the good news.

"They were both so happy they cried on the phone. You just keep thinking it can’t be true, things like this don’t happen to ordinary families like ours."
