00:00On January the 22nd, we won £7.6 million on the National Lottery, and it was on the
00:10Saturday night, and Barbara started checking the numbers, and she says, Ray, we've got
00:17three numbers.
00:18So I said, great, that's for Wednesday and Saturday, because it was a £5 ticket.
00:23She said, we've got four.
00:24I said, oh, that will be good then, it might be £100.
00:29She says, Ray, we've got six.
00:30I said, we haven't.
00:31She says, we have.
00:32We haven't.
00:33We have.
00:34Then Barbara's sister rang at nine o'clock.
00:38She says, Barbara, she says, are you sure you've got six numbers?
00:42She says yes, and she went backwards and forwards to her sister, like, so I said, pass me the
00:49phone.
00:50She said, are you there, Pat?
00:51I said, yeah.
00:52I said, well, we've definitely got six numbers.
00:55So I passed it back to Barbara, and she says, well, Barbara, if you've got six numbers,
00:59you've won it on your own, it's £7.6 million.
01:03We couldn't actually believe the amount of money.
01:07I know, as time went by, I used to say, I'd love to have seen that on a pallet, £7.6
01:13million, you know, just for the sake of it.
01:17And she says, well, what we've got to do now, she says, we've got to look about sharing
01:22this out.
01:23I said, well, I agree with you, and the reason was I was 63, and Barbara says, that's a lot
01:29of money.
01:30She says, we couldn't spend all that money, so we'll do some good with it, and that's
01:35what we've done.
01:36We sat down one Saturday morning, and our son had just gone, and he said, she picked
01:42the paper up, and she says, yeah, look at this, she says, I said, what's the matter?
01:46He says, it's these poor Monte Cassino veterans, and they can't afford to go on the anniversary,
01:52and it probably might mean the last anniversary to some of these chaps, because they've got
01:58a photograph.
01:59So, I says, well, what do you want?
02:00She says, £12,000.
02:01I says, £12,000?
02:02She says, yeah.
02:03I says, well, what are you going to do?
02:04She says, I'm going to send it for them, she says, if it hadn't been for them, we'd probably
02:12not have been here.
02:14We donated £10,000 first off, at the start, we donated £10,000 to the Children's Hospital,
02:23£10,000 to get the teenage unit moving, and there were a lot of charities that we
02:36helped, and our saying is that we made a lot of people happy.
