Jennifer Southall
This is how you do champagne: Lotto winner Jennifer Southall cracks into a bottle of champagne as she celebrates winning £8million
Refreshingly, the divorced mother-of-three has already made plans that will make a big hole in her £8,372,751 fortune as she aims to fulfil her dream of a lifestyle to match those of the Hollywood superstars she has spent the last decade watching on-screen.
The job was abandoned soon after her numbers came up, shortly followed by the spending spree of her life in which she spent £1,500 in just 24 hours, and her rented council house home will soon go the same way.
It will be replaced by a big house with a swimming pool, a “pretty red car” plus driving lessons, and a luxury holiday or two for the whole family once they’ve applied for passports.
Yesterday Miss Southall was adapting quickly to her new status as a millionairess.
“Now I know what it is like to be rich – and it’s fantastic,” she said as the cheque was handed over in her home town of Newport, Gwent.
“I’ve never even been on a plane or needed a passport. My family are mad about Egypt so that is one place I want to go as soon as I won the jackpot.
“But then this morning somebody mentioned New York and a bell rang in my head. I’ll go there as well.
“I’ve seen the stars in the movies for years and now its my turn.
“I’ve also always wanted to live in a big house with a swimming pool – and a bedroom for me that’s far enough away from the kids that I won’t be able to hear their music blaring anymore.”
