A Gloucestershire couple who scooped the biggest-ever lottery win last month have reportedly made their first big purchase - but it's not the flashy sports car most would expect. Joe and Jess Thwaite, who live near Gloucester, have apparently spent a fairly modest £38,000 of their £184m EuroMillions win on a used Volvo estate.
Jess, who manages Blow Hair in Tewkesbury, said that the couple were "not materialistic" but were eyeing up a new vehicle with their winnings, reports Gloucestershire Live. She said: “I’ll probably buy a new car I’m sure, or something like that. We’d love to go on a family holiday."
According to the The Sun, Joe, 49, and Jess, 44, were seen arriving at their home in the grey second-hand V60 this week. They had been visiting the £650,000 Grade II-listed home to meet with their builders as they continue with work that had been planned before their win, the paper said.
