Ceri Roscoe-Roberts is a 43-year-old woman from northwest Wales, who last November scooped a €1 million prize in the draw of Euromillions.
This woman has spent a large part of her award on buying a guesthouse in Snowdonia with her husband Paul, 46, a golf course manager.
However, she has explained that since she has been a millionaire, her five childrens have had no more than they would normally have had when dates like Christmas and their birthdays come around.
“To be able to give them memories is much more important than buying them big, extravagant gifts,” the woman reasons to justify her and her husband’s decision.
“I quit my job and we bought a guest house with all en-suite bedrooms and a garage. Now I wake up every morning and still it takes me a while to come to terms with reality“, says Roscoe-Roberts.
When she heard the news, her first reaction was to turn to her husband Paul and yell, “We’re millionaires!” “There was something that said to me when I woke up on Saturday morning. That I had won big in the National Lottery.“, he said.
“It was the strangest feeling I’ve ever had! I picked up the phone and looked at my emails and there was one that said there was news about my ticket,” he continues. “I logged into my National Lottery account and there was the confirmation: I really was a millionaire!“, he says.
But in statements reported by the BBC, says his life hasn’t changed that much. “I still don’t go shopping somewhere. if I know it’s cheaper in another. I don’t think that will ever change,” he explains.
“We both love our jobs, so we both we have no intention of stopping working. But a bigger house for the whole family is definitely on the shopping list; it’s something we’ve wanted for a long time. And now we have the chance to buy the house of our dreams!” she concludes.
