Lottery winners share how they spend their winnings - and say they've got 'more stingy'

A couple who won the Set For Life lottery have shared exactly how they spend their prize cash - including buying toilet roll in bulk.

Partners Laura Hoyle and Kirk Stevens were met with surprise and glee after finding out last year they had bagged themselves the National Lottery game's top prize: £10,000 a month for the next three decades. A year after their big win, the Nottingham-based couple, spoke to the Mirror about how their lives have changed thanks to their hefty income and spilled the beans on how they've been using their money.

The duo say they've slashed their mobile bills from £40 each a month to £10 thanks to buying their phones up front, and will purchase toilet paper in bulk and cut out takeaways. The monthly £10k has also allowed Laura to quit her job, which she says has given her more time to cook healthy meals at home.
