A couple from the Scottish Borders today revealed that they realised they had won half of the historic £66million lottery jackpot while tucking into a bacon and black pudding roll.
David and Carol Martin, from Hawick in the Scottish borders, have been named as winners of £33million, half of the UK’s biggest-ever Lotto jackpot.

Mr Martin said the couple, both 54, stared at each other silently for 15 minutes when they found out, before celebrating their windfall with lots of cups of tea because they don’t own champagne flutes.

He added:

 ‘I’ve dreamt of this moment many times but when it actually came, it was a just total shock.’We were both stunned into silence. We kept re-checking the numbers as we thought there must be a mistake.

The handyman revealed the first thing he wanted to do was ‘buy myself a nice pair of £200 brogues’ as well as a range rover for him and an automatic for his wife, who works at a local Boots chemist.
The Martins’ winning ticket, which was bought from Morrisons, sat on their mantelpiece overnight Saturday and the couple did not check it until the following morning when prompted by friends.

The Martins said at a press conference this morning that their first purchase will be a first-class ticket home for their daughter, who is working for a recruitment company in Australia..

Mr Martin, who has a heart condition, also revealed he was keen to help flood victims battered by recent storms, while on a personal front he spoke about going to a number of live sporting events.

He talked about going to Wimbledon and the Masters golf tournament and was also keen on buying a holiday home.

The 54-year-old, works for Borders Care and Repair which helps elderly and disabled fit equipment in their homes.

 

The couple, who have been married for 28 years, are planning to retire as soon as possible and said they would love a new home in the country, local to where they live now, and a holiday home in the sun.

Mr Martin said:

 ‘It’s everyone’s dream to win the lottery. I’ve talked about winning and what I would do so many times. But now it’s actually here my mind’s gone blank.We don’t have all the answers yet but we’d like to help our closest friends and family, and there are charities which are important to us too.

“Absolutely Clueless And Easily The Worst Manager I Played Under” — Mikel Obi Blasts Sunday Oliseh; Blames Him For Vincent Enyeama’s Early Retirement

Published

on

He said’ “I remember the first day he came into the camp. Then we reported to the camp for International duties, then he came straight at me and Vincent Enyeama, the goalkeeper, who also was very powerful back then.”

“He came straight at us and Elderson Echiejile, and he said a few things. He said he heard there was a lot of player power with us.

“Then Enyeama was like, ‘What’s wrong with you? Where are you getting all of these from? We are a nice group, and you just come in, and the first thing is to attack us?

“He was like ‘I heard about you guys.’ And then Enyeama stood up and told him he couldn’t say that because we had been here for so many years. They started arguing, and literally, they were going to have a fight.

“He took Enyeama out of the team, and he came at us saying he was going to take us out of the team. He said he was going to take us out of the team; he said he was going to make sure we didn’t play anymore.”

“Enyeama could not take it, and despite my pleas, he left the camp angrily and never came back.”

“He (Oliseh) had absolutely no clue of how a manager is. He was a fantastic guy in his playing days, but as a coach, he was very terrible. He had no clue what he was doing.

“The players never understood anything he was doing, and he did not know what he was doing. He was just confused because he just came in and destroyed the team’s togetherness.

“His excuse when he got fired was that the people and FA did voodoo on him not to succeed. He was easily the worst manager I played under.

“He was so bitter with everybody, jealous with everybody, and had no respect for speaking to anybody, whether the physio or anybody,” he added.

I’m still single and searching – 70-year-old virgin Cries

Published

on

An elderly woman has lamented being single and still searching because she rejected many men in the name of sacrificing her life to give her siblings a good education before getting married.

“The reason I am still single is that I haven’t found the right man for me. But when I was still a young girl, several men were chasing after me. I dated several, but I refused to get married before my siblings graduated because I was the one who was taking care of them. Men would approach me for marriage and I would tell them no because I wanted to educate my siblings first, then marry later,” she said.

“If I get a husband, I would get married. I’m ready to be a wife and move in together with my husband,” Alphonsine said.
