The couple bought their ticket online and checked the numbers late that night, unable to believe what they saw. The couple tried to sleep but the reality kept them awake.
Even waking the next morning, the win felt unreal. The couple bought their ticket through Slikpik and would usually only enter when a big prize was on offer.
They had nearly let this one slip by, the reminder from his partner proved crucial. Now expecting their first child, the couple said the windfall gives them freedom to make family decisions without financial worry.
They plan to create memories with their child rather than splash out on extravagant purchases. Neither intends to give up work.
Their first celebration was modest: home-cooked spaghetti bolognese shared together.
