WHEN YOU GET THAT LUCKY FEELING GO WITH IT

70-year old grandfather Keith Birtles had a lucky feeling about the numbers he chose for the May 9th EuroMillions draw and walked away with over £50,000.Do you ever get that lucky feeling? Well that’s exactly what happened to retired self-employed builder Keith Birtles, 70, from Scarisbrick, near Southport, and he went on to win over £50,000 in the May 9th EuroMillions draw.Keith regularly plays EuroMillions, and has had a few small wins in the past, but the £50,904.30 overshadows all those previous successes. He regularly changes his numbers and his winning selections were chosen simply because they just felt lucky to him.He’ll certainly never forget the moment when he was sitting in his kitchen checking the numbers on the television. “I had to keep checking and double-checking. I just started to shake uncontrollably when I realized I had matched all five main numbers.” Only after confirmation by Camelot (the operators of the UK national lottery) was he convinced it wasn’t all a dream. Cheekily the lucky winner thought he might have won more than £50,000 telling reporters with tongue firmly in cheek “I thought my prize would be more, I was a bit disappointed.”Keith has been quick off the mark when deciding what to do with his winnings, saying “Even though I haven’t got the money yet I have started spending it.” He’s already placed an order for a new Silver E320 Mercedes. He intends treating his two sons, Peter and Michael, five grandchildren and one great grandchild. Once he gets his Silver Mercedes he’ll give his current car to his eldest son, Peter. The car needs some repairs and Keith will pay that bill.Whatever that costs he’ll then give the same to his youngest son, Michael, but in cash.His lucky numbers were 3, 21, 26, 28 and 45 but although Birtles insists he’ll continue playing EuroMillions again he won’t be using those numbers. “I think I have won my money back – I am in front now I think.”When asked what his best tip for winning is, the happy grandfather replied “I am not telling you – it has taken me twenty years to work that out.”The next EuroMillions jackpot for the draw on Friday 16th May is an estimated €42 million.
