A factory worker who was able to quit work after he scooped £2million prize on a scratch card says he almost didn’t buy one – because of road works outside the shop.
Ian Black, 61, was able to quit work at the Pirelli factory in Carlisle, Cumbria, after 40 years when he scooped the jackpot at the shop on his way home from work.
He picked up the scratch card as he stopped to buy a newspaper on the way home from a night shift as he always did.
