£184m EuroMillions winners stay down to earth with first big buy - a second-hand Volvo estate car

A couple who scooped £184million on EuroMillions to become Britain's biggest lottery winners ever have splashed out on their first major purchase - a second-hand Volvo estate car.

Joe, 49, and Jess Thwaite, 44, were spotted in a £38,000 grey V60 when they arrived for a meeting with builders. It is believed that rather than spend millions on a new home, they are continuing with renovations they had already started on their existing property, a grade II-listed house.

And they have taken the same down-to-earth approach to their new transport, as The Mirror reports. While the Volvo is the "big upgrade" Joe promised to his battered old Hyundai, it is far from the supercars many major lottery winners drive off in.
