Helen, a shop assistant at The Northern Line, a homeware and gift store in Ulverston, says she has no plans to give up work and will use her newfound fortune to live life to the full.

Helen said that she and Derek, 52, a welder at Sellafield, had planned to move to a bigger house and had recently put their existing home up for sale.

She said: “Now, thanks to our win, we will be able to keep our existing home and rent it out and buy a bigger new home – the house of our dreams – too!

“Never did we ever believe we would be in the position to do this. It is just life changing.”
