Retired teacher wins £3.6m Euromillions jackpot and celebrates with glass of water

A retired teacher who describes herself as ''pretty calm'' person celebrated bagging a whopping £3.6 million Euromillions jackpot by simply sitting down and pouring herself a glass of water. Celeste Coles found out she had secured the winnings on July 12th and spent the summer holidaying in Barbados, Birmingham Mail reports.

Her future plans involve a trip to South America and to purchase a holiday house in Spain. Lucky Celeste bought the wining ticket on The National Lottery App, right before sales closed for the draw.

That evening, she discovered she had secured five main numbers and a bonus Lucky Star on her Euromillions ticket. Celeste's luck continued as those numbers alone would have amounted to £130,000 but because the jackpot had reached it's cap and couldn't get any bigger, the cash that would have usually went into boosting the jackpot was split among players in the next prize tier instead.
