Celeste Coles celebrates her £3.7 million lottery win with daughters Nicola and Rachel
She said she played the lottery occasionally, and decided to buy a ticket after receiving an email about the large Euromillions jackpot the afternoon before the draw."Remembering just moments before the sales closed I got myself a Lucky Dip ticket," she said. "Now I think about it, I was probably in shock and I still am! You never think it will really happen to you.”
Celeste, who won the prize in July, already had a trip to her native Barbados planned so travelled to see her family soon after the money hit her bank account. Since coming back she has been busy planning how she wants to enjoy her winnings.“The biggest thing for me is knowing that I now have financial security and that my girls will have a more comfortable life, especially Rachel," she said.
"I’d also like to go on a train trip through the Rocky Mountains, that’s a real bucket list dream that I can now hopefully tick off in the not-too-distant future.”
