The couple, who have three daughters and one son, are planning to splash out on a family holiday to Disneyland Paris. They also want to use some of the cash as a deposit to get themselves on the housing ladder after years of renting.
Dan said: “I couldn’t speak properly and our neighbours didn’t understand what was going on. At one point they said, ‘just call an ambulance if you aren’t well?’. Kayleigh finally grabbed the phone and explained what had happened.
“We met up and sat in the garden sipping a bottle of prosecco. Considering I’m a barman, I still struggled to pour without spilling, I was shaking that much.
“Winning just feels brilliant and it means I have some financial security for my family.”
