A British
couple have won £1million in the EuroMillions lottery for the second
time in 20 months - beating odds of more than 283 billion to one - and
will finally move out of their static caravan.
Millionaires
David Long and Kathleen MacKenzie from Scunthorpe will leave their
small Lincolnshire bungalow and buy a mansion, as long as it has a bar
and games room.
Last time the couple decided against moving and bought a house for Mr Long's 81-year-old mother Joan instead.
They
may also splash out on a Mediterranean cruise with Mr Long admitting
after the latest £1milllion payout he's 'run out of excuses' not to go,
and will also donate cash to their local hospice.
The
former lorry driver said today he was 'shocked' to win again but
continued buying a ticket after their first million-pound win because 'I
just knew it would be my turn again some day'.
Previous winners:
Scunthorpe HGV driver David Long and his wife Kathleen MacKenzie have
won a £1million on the EuroMillions for the second time - three years
after their last win in an incredible 283 billion to one shot, see more photos after the cut...
Home: The couple still live in their Scunthorpe static home - but have decided it is time move on and buy a mansion
What could they buy? This mansion,
considered one of the finest period homes in Lincolnshire, comes with 7
large double bedrooms, 11 acres of land, 3 tree lined driveways and
ample room for a bar and games room
On the market: This 9,000sqft country pile is set in two acres, has seven bedrooms and even a 60ft long indoor swimming pool
Easily affordable: The couple could
use their new cash to buy this 'substantial rural retreat' on the edge
of Scunthorpe with 20 acres of land, an annex for Mr Long's mother Joan
and even a hangar for a plane
Today they announced their win at their local pub in Scunthorpe and put on a free bar for all their family and friends.
And
with their wealth now doubled, they can swap their bungalow for a
seven-bedroom mansion with swimming pool and up to 20 acres of land.
Explaining
how he won again Mr Long had passed his local newsagent before the
Friday draw and thought 'I'll have a go' and said today: 'I always knew
I'd win, even the first time. I just had a feeling it was going to be
me'.
