“I’ve looked at it about 100 times.
“It’s unbelievable!
“I normally play online, but I’ve had some wins from tickets I got from Brighton-Le-Sands Newsagency.
“So, my wife said, ‘you need to go there and get a ticket from there for tonight’s Megadaw’.
“As soon as I checked it, I couldn’t believe it!
“It’s a huge win for my family. I’m going to buy our first house and maybe I can finally have a break and enjoy an overseas holiday.”
The winning man purchased his entry at Brighton-Le-Sands Newsagency, Shop 3, 252-269 Bay Street, Brighton-Le-Sands.
Brighton-Le-Sands Newsagency owner Helen Wang said she was thrilled to see another Megadraw division one win land at her outlet.
