A British builder who won £1 million on a National Lottery scratch card in July is now recovering in hospital after what he described as 'three months of partying'. Adam Lopez, 39, from Norwich, went from a bank balance of £12.40 to £1,000,012.40 overnight. He quit his job and spent the summer celebrating with friends and family, convinced that his life had changed forever.
The celebrations, however, came to a sudden halt in September when Lopez collapsed at home and was rushed to hospital. Doctors later diagnosed him with a bilateral pulmonary embolism, a life-threatening condition caused by blood clots blocking both lungs.
