A dad-of-three who was previously earning minimum wage has become a multi-millionaire overnight after winning a staggering £5.4m jackpot. Michael Clark has had an unforgettable start to 2023 after bagging the biggest payout in bookmaker Betfred's 56-year history while playing a slot game on a stake of just £1.40, the Mirror reports
The 32-year-old from Newcastle opened up about what the life changing win means for himself and his family's future. He met fiancée Sherelle Pooley, 27, while he was working in KFC said he could 'couldn't stop crying' when he realised how much he'd won as he reveals the couple can now 'easily afford to get married' and he can provide his family with a 'forever home'.
The lucky pair say they are now 'rich beyond our dreams' after they both grew up on a 'council estate and went to comprehensive school but have always tried to be kind to others'. Michael and Sherelle have already begun compiling a list of what they will do with the record-breaking jackpot win as he plans to treat his grandmother to a new stairlift in her home.
