A couple who won the Set For Life lottery have shared exactly how they spend their prize cash - including buying toilet roll in bulk.
Partners Laura Hoyle and Kirk Stevens were met with surprise and glee after finding out last year they had bagged themselves the National Lottery game's top prize: £10,000 a month for the next three decades. A year after their big win, the Nottingham-based couple, spoke to the Mirror about how their lives have changed thanks to their hefty income and spilled the beans on how they've been using their money.
The duo say they've slashed their mobile bills from £40 each a month to £10 thanks to buying their phones up front, and will purchase toilet paper in bulk and cut out takeaways. The monthly £10k has also allowed Laura to quit her job, which she says has given her more time to cook healthy meals at home.

"Before we were eating a lot of convenient stuff and takeaways, when I was working 14 hour days," Laura said. "Now I refuse to do that. We need to stay alive longer."
In terms of shopping, the aspiring landlords now tend to order clothes online before sending any back that don't fit, with Laura often sticking to her favourite brand Ted Baker.
Kirk added: "We've cut everything out. It's weird. We do tend to buy a lot of bulk. Why go to supermarket and get 16 loo rolls when you can go on Amazon and get 56 loo rolls for the same price. Same with deodorant. Shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste. That's a lot of what we do now. The next door neighbour thought we were hoarding toilet roll during Covid."
