Lottery Winner Jumped Queue to Win £1m
The most recent UK National Lottery winner, who bagged £1m, jumped the queue after a fellow shopper let him go first.
A plasterer scooped £1m on the Lottery after claiming his ticket at the last minute. However, if his fellow shopper hadn’t let him skip in front of the queue, he would never won this amazing prize.
Moreover, the winner has thanked the shopper who let him go first in the queue.
In addition, the winner said, “We would love to meet her again and say thank you for changing our lives!”
Arron Walshaw, 32, and his fiancee, Ceri Hall, 23, from Ossett, West Yorkshire, won the Lotto Raffle prize on Wednesday. Interestingly, had the other customer not let him go first, Mr. Walshaw believes he would have missed the deadline for the draw.
Furthermore, he and Ms. Hall are now planning their “dream wedding”.
Was winning the lottery their fate?
Mr Walshaw said: “We had a free lucky dip ticket from the previous draw to use and I knew it was only minutes until the draw closed.
“I popped into a nearby shop where me and another lady approached the same cashier, she must have seen that I was in a rush because she insisted I went before her.”
He added: “What a stroke of luck that turned out to be.” Was this win a trick of fate or was Mr. Walshaw just lucky?
Mr. Walshaw bought a ticket and, that evening, the couple counted their collection of pennies. They were “chuffed” to find they had £50 for a camping trip. The following day they discovered they were millionaires.
He states “I don’t think I would have been in time to buy my ticket if she hadn’t let me go first.”
