Ruth Giblin and her husband Rob were made instant millionaires in July of last year after they scooped the £1million jackpot in a special Euromillions draw, however, their first purchase was a pair of specs
Ruth Giblin was blown away when she saw her lottery numbers came up, however, her first purchase was a pair of glasses.Following their win they have taken their 17-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter on their first flights, to Italy, paid off their mortgage, visited London and treated themselves to their first dog – a miniature schnauzer called Rohan, writes the Mirror.
The lucky woman still works as a leisure centre supervisor in Telford, Shrops, while Rob, 49, quit his engineering job but is now training as a teaching assistant. Rob said: “I had the car serviced and needed new tyres; I told them to carry on. Last year, I would have been in bits. The relief the win has given us is amazing. Without it, I’d have stayed in my job until I retired, never trying anything else.
Their journey as National Lottery millionaires is all being documented by Ruth. She said: “I have my ‘Lottery Box’, containing every moment of our journey. From postcards of our travels to tube tickets in London. I look through it and see all the things we’ve been able to do so far, all the firsts for our family, all after our lucky win last year.”
