Forgotten tickets

He had no idea that his life was about to change with a surprise EuroMillions win.“I jumped in the van and called Camelot,” he recalled. The lottery official asked if he was sitting down and then told Mr Trollope that he was a millionaire.

“It was the most surreal situation,” he said. But he wasted no time in sharing the news with family and friends.With the money now in the bank, the surprise EuroMillions winner doesn’t plan to stop working.
