A lucky Asda employee who bagged the EuroMillions jackpot with a winning ticket she purchased at work has revealed her plans to finally experience her dream wedding with her long term partner after a 15 year engagement. The supermarket worker and her forklift driver partner, who have been together for 20 years, are now finally able to plan the wedding of a lifetime with their £1m lottery win.
Ellie Land, 41 purchased the winning EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker ticket on November 4 at the Asda store she works in at Drayton Road in Norwich, the Mirror reports.
Ellie and partner Karl Ward, 43, who also share two children together, are going to treat their son and daughter to their first holiday with the prize money as well as their dream wedding.
The pair had not been able to afford to get married because of the expenses of the big day and admitted they had prioritised their children over the years. Karl said: “We’ve been putting off getting married purely for the funds and to spend it on children and life.
"But now we’ve got the money we’re happy to get married at long last.” Delighted Ellie explained that she had bought the ticket ''on a whim'' as she had only jumped into the store to grab some bread and milk when she decided to spontaneously purchase one.
She said: “I don’t always play, just on a whim, so when my colleague wished me luck, I laughed and said ‘if I win something I’ll treat you’. Little did I think then that we’d win £1 million, I’ll certainly be going back with a little something for her.
"Thinking back on that day I keep laughing, I spent a penny and won a million.” The couple received the life changing news of their win after returning home from a wine-tasting event with friends.
