A driver, who won a £6.9 Million Lottery fortune playing Euro Millions Lottery, has booked a return ticket and gone back to work on the railways.

“After the win I went on holiday to various resorts abroad but I couldn’t see myself doing that for the rest of my life. We went to Greece, Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Spain but after a few months of holidays I was itching to get back to work.”

“I was disappointed to be told that I could not go back as a driver because my hearing wasn’t 100%, but then they offered a job in the offices and I was thrilled to take it because it meant I was working with trains and my old workmates again.”

Mr Prance failed a medical to return as a train driver but was so desperate to work that he retrained for another job with Arriva Trains and now works as a £600-a-week resource manager.

Mr Prance and wife Gillian, left their terraced house in Splott, Cardiff, and now live in a £64,000 luxury caravan in the seaside resort near Porthcawl.
Prance, father of three, won £6.9 Million last year, a share of a massive £88 Million (US$163 Million) Euro Millions Lottery Jackpot.

“I could have bought a holiday home anywhere in the world, but we love our caravans more. I’ve been coming to Porthcawl since I was a little boy and always dreamed of having my own luxury caravan there. I feel so lucky.”
The couple gave their 3 bedroom house in Splott, Cardiff, to daughter Sarah, 19, and paid off the mortgages of sons Lee, 30, and Ian, 27.
