When Mark Francis got the call to say he had won the lottery, he celebrated....by "blowing my nose". That was because he was laid up in bed with Covid and self isolating, so had to phone his fiance Helen Taylor to tell her they had scooped £1 million on the National Lottery.
Helen, who works as a carer for Swansea council, was with a patient when she could see that Mark had tried to phone her several times, but had no idea the good news he was trying to tell her.
"I was just about to shower a lady, and told him I couldn't speak," she remembers. "But he was saying no,no, no, I need to tell you we have won the lottery."
