Time to quit
After realising his big win, Mr Weymes said he was hit with a realisation: “I don’t have to be here if I don’t want to be here.”As well as making changes to his own life, the Set for Life jackpot will enable Mr Weymes to improve the life of his 23-year-old brother, Robert. “Robert has severe autism,” the 24-year-old explained.He said that as his parents become older, it is getting more difficult for them to look after Robert.“If they could have regular services, they could have a break, so it is not 24/7,” he said of how he hopes to make changes.After studying film and video at university in Ireland, Mr Weymes has always hoped for a career in the movies. Now, his cash injection should help him to achieve his dreams.
Dreams of Hollywood
After quitting his job at Amazon and putting services in place to help out his family, Mr Weymes hopes to start a career as a screenwriter.First, he’s heading to Disneyland Paris though and plans to follow up with a hot air balloon ride and a tandem skydive.“I am now worry free for the rest of my life!” he exclaimed.
