Scots council worker who won £25k sent home after crying so hard bosses feared he would crash car

A Scots kitchen builder who won £25,000 has told how council bosses feared he could end up in an accident on the motorway due to him ‘blubbering’ with joy. Richard Brown correctly guessed the five-figure sum on Clyde 1’s Cash Register on Thursday as his cheering colleagues watched on and filmed his heartwarming reaction.

The 37-year-old burst into tears after discovering he was getting his hands on the radio show prize which will now pay off his wedding to fiancée Maggie Mclennan later this year. The duo, from Coatbridge, are set to tie the knot at Lodge on Loch Lomond on September 3 after first getting engaged back in 2017 while on holiday in Spain.

Richard, who works for City Building in Glasgow, told how bosses sent him home early from his shift to celebrate with his 36-year-old partner but had slight concerns for his safety. He explained: “My bosses have been amazing since I won. They told me to go home and just celebrate with my partner.
