A couple won a life-changing ?105 million lottery. But they didn't really get their heads in the clouds and kept being grounded. How? By buying second-hand cars and doing a lot of DIYs to make things life better.
Builder Steve Thomson and his wife Lenka brought a second-hand van and car after winning the huge lottery price. Just because the couple has earned a lot of money, they didn't want to spend the entire amount.

After revealing that he has won the lottery, Steve purchased a second-hand van for himself followed by a Volvo XC90 for Lenka. Savvy Steve also invested a chunk of his win with the Queens bank, Coutts & Co, following the windfall in 2019.
The couple ¡°tens of millions¡± into a trust and could be set for another huge windfall in years to come. The family also sold their terrace house in Selsey, West Sussex, for a massive country estate last year.
