A couple who will receive £10,000 a month for 30 years after winning on the National Lottery are using their money in an unusual way - by pursuing their passion for ghost-hunting. Laura Hoyle, 40, and Kirk Stevens, 38, won in the Set For Life competition, matching all five main numbers plus the Life Ball to scoop the life-changing prize.
The sum amounts to £3.6 million over the course of the full three decades, or £120,000 a year. Initially the pair were completely unaware they had won the amount for almost two weeks and carried on playing the game believing they had won just £5.
It was only when Laura got a message from Camelot and logged into her account that she realised they had landed the jackpot. A year on from their win in a draw on March 1, 2021, footage has been released of the moment the couple, from Hucknall in Nottinghamshire, heard confirmation they had just become millionaires.
