Retained Fireman Scoops
£4.5m Jackpot
A
Stonemason is preparing to carve out a dream lifestyle after
scooping more than £4 million on the National
Lottery.
Motorcycle enthusiast
Adrian Rush, 40, from Diss, collected his winning cheque
yesterday and promptly clambered aboard the bike of his
dreams - a Harley Davidson.
The father-of-two scooped
£4,568,286 in the Lotto Rollover jackpot on
Wednesday.
Mr Rush, who also works as
a retained firefighter, said he was struggling to take the
huge win in.
He said: "I sometimes buy
Lucky Dip tickets on the day of the draw if I have some
spare change after doing the shopping. Usually I buy them
for Saturday's draw but I happened to have £2 in change
while we were in Morrisons so had a go. I've won a tenner a
few times but I never thought I'd hit the
jackpot!"
Mr Rush purchased his
Lucky Dip ticket from Morrisons in Diss after doing the
weekly shop with his wife Tracey, 39, who works as a
playgroup assistant.
The couple found out about
the win on Thursday after Mrs Rush checked the results on
the internet - but she had to dash out before she knew how
much her husband had won.
"My wife knew we had done
well," said Mr Rush. "Then I saw that we had all the numbers
and it was a £9 million jackpot with two people sharing
the money. But we could not jump up and down until we had it
confirmed by Camelot, which was quite
nail-biting."
Mrs Rush said the couple
were still pinching themselves and were trying to decide how
to spend their new fortune.
She said: "Like everyone
we have always dreamed of winning the lottery but now it's
happened we just need to sit back and think carefully about
what the future holds."
Mr Rush said the couple
planned to build an extension and conservatory for their
house, buy a new car and go on a Caribbean cruise. He also
intends going on a fishing trip to France or
Spain.
He said the couple's two
teenage children and immediate family - who all live in the
Diss area - would also be high on their list of
priorities.
