Joe and Jess Thwaite, who won £184,262,899.10 on EuroMillions – the UK’s biggest-ever lottery haul – say they initially thought it must have been a mistake when they found out about the win. ‘He told me and I was like, don’t be stupid, don’t be silly,’ said Jess.
The couple, married for 11 years with two young children, told Sky News the money would give them the opportunity to spend more time with family around the world and their children. Jess said they would be able to ‘live that dream’ rather than ‘chasing our tail every minute of the day’ to be able to afford it
