They had no cash for a celebration drink:
They learnt their numbers had come up in last Saturday’s draw when Susan popped into Tesco the next morning to get her ticket scanned. She was so stunned she asked an assistant to phone her husband.
He said: “I got to Tesco car park and Sue was crying. We sat in the car, numb with shock.” They drove to look at a house for sale and then saw a pub. Susan revealed: “Ivan said, ‘Let’s go in to celebrate,’ but neither of us had any money on us. So Ivan went back to work and I went home.”
And even though they’ve won a lot of money, they plan to keep working. Lucky always says you have to have something constructive to do with your time. Too many people retire thinking they have years of relaxation ahead, but we’ve seen relatives and friends die early — just at the beginning of their retirement. There is such a thing as good stress — the kind that provides emotional and mental challenge that brings a sense of accomplishment.
Now, in this couple’s case, the lottery win has relieved any financial stress. But it’s good to see they plan to keep doing what makes them happy.
