A couple who secured a record- breaking £184 million EuroMillions win have revealed they bought the ticket last minute "when it's a good jackpot". Joe and Jess Thwaite, aged 49 and 44, from Gloucester say they plan to "share lots of experiences" with their two primary-age children.
Joe, a communications sales engineer, says he is the one who regularly buys the ticket, despite usually having "terrible luck". The communications sales engineer originally mistook an email notifying him he had won a prize as a lucky dip, until he "started counting the digits".
He then realised he had in fact won a "life-changing" amount. Camelot confirmed it had received a claim on Wednesday for the £184,262,899.10 EuroMillions jackpot prize won by a single UK ticket-holder in the draw on Tuesday.
