00:00We had a Christmas get-together, didn't we girls?
00:03Yes.
00:04We thought, how lovely if we did win.
00:06I mean, you enter to win, don't you?
00:08You never dream you're going to win, but you do enter to win.
00:11And obviously from then, we decided we were going to play it, didn't we?
00:14Yes.
00:15And we just carried on over the years, didn't we?
00:17We have.
00:18Twenty-nine years later, we've won.
00:20Whoopee!
00:22Yes, the moment I found out I'd won, I was with my wife
00:25and she checked the message.
00:27And it was early on a Sunday morning, and she said to me,
00:31I think we won on the lottery.
00:33And I says, yeah, whatever.
00:36And she said to me, I think you need to look at this.
00:39I said, I haven't got my glasses.
00:41She said, you need to get your glasses, David.
00:44So I thought, this is getting a bit serious now.
00:46I've got my glasses, and when I saw the figure, I could not believe it.
00:50It was absolutely amazing.
00:52The win for me is definitely going to be life-changing.
00:55Unfortunately, a few years ago, I lost my home.
00:58And since then, I've been in rented accommodation.
01:01But now, thanks to the lottery, I can buy.
01:04I'm going to share mine with the grand...
01:06I've got some grandchildren, which I wish to give them some as well.
01:11Personally, I'm going to embrace the situation
01:13and share it along with my family
01:15and contemplate what to do with it in the months to come.
