Winner identified : Euromillions lottery prize – GBP101


Wednesday October 12, 2011 : Cambridgeshire couple are not regular lotto players
 
Britain's third largest Euromillions lottery prize – GBP101 million reported earlier this week – was won by a Cambridgeshire couple who had only played the lotto twice before, UK mainstream media revealed Wednesday.
 
It really was third time lucky for Dave Dawes, 47, a shift supervisor for Premier Foods, and Angela Dawes, 43, a volunteer for the British Heart Foundation, when they hit the jackpot.
 
Dave Dawes described how they discovered their win: "We were watching TV and the EuroMillions draw show came on so we kept watching, not thinking we would win anything.
 
"We got our tickets out and watched in shock as, one by one, the numbers came up on the line I'd chosen.
 
"We couldn't believe it! It was too late to call Camelot so I kept the ticket on me all night until the morning but we didn't sleep a wink."
