Lottery winners discover cost of living falls when you have more money

A Set for Life winning couple have discovered how much cheaper life is as rich people since they scooped the National Lottery game's top prize.

Laura Hoyle and Kirk Stevens now have the cash to bulk buy loo roll and toothpaste after bagging £10,000 a month for the next 30 years. The frugal couple have also bought their phones up front - meaning they've slashed their monthly bills in four - and have ditched takeaways and ready meals now Laura has time to cook healthy dishes after quitting her job, reports The Mirror.

Getting a mortgage has proved difficult for the aspiring landlords, whose applications were rejected by all but one bank despite their hefty income. The biggest change has been to Laura's mental health now she's ditched a job that had her coming home in floods of tears every day. Instead of putting in 90 hour weeks for someone else, the 40-year-old pursues her passion for paranormal investigations full time.
