A lorry driver and his wife who won £3.6 million on the EuroMillions said their first purchase was a £17 back-scratcher. Lee Kuchczynski, 52, said he was in Yorkshire driving his HGV when wife Helen, 58, rang to tell him they had become millionaires after matching five numbers and a Lucky Star in the draw on Tuesday July 12.
Asked about his first purchase, he said: “I bought a new back scratcher because I snapped my other one at work so I bought an expensive one worth £17 instead of £8! The rest of the time we’ve just been sat there in a daze really.”
Mrs Kuchczynski said she was at home in Kendal, Cumbria, with their 21-year-old daughter at 7.30am when she had an email to tell her of the win and logged onto her account, where the couple bought Lucky Dip tickets weekly. Initially she thought the message might have been a scam because she could only see a balance of 40p.
