A teenager scooped a huge lottery win on his first ever go after deciding to download the Lotto app while lying in the bath.
Sam Lawton won a whopping £120,000 prize in the National Lottery's newest game. The young dad-of-one will now receive £10,000 a month for the next year in the Set For Life draw.
Sam, who was working as a data analyst in Leamington Spa, Warks, matched five numbers at odds of one-in-1,704,377 in 2019, reports the Mirror.
After seeing Dean Weymes, 24, scoop a £3m top prize on the telly, Sam decided to give it a go.
He said at the time: "I was in the bath and just thought that I'd have a go. I saw Dean Weymes celebrating his win and just thought I'd have a punt. I downloaded the National Lottery app in the bath, put a tenner in my account and then played a Lucky Dip."
Sam went downstairs after his bath to learn he'd won the Set For Life second prize. He added: "It was only an hour, maybe 90 minutes, after I first played when I saw a message on my phone and it said I'd won the second prize - £10k a month for a year.
"Having never played before I asked Connie to take a look. But like me, she had never played before so we called her brother Craig, who'd played the National Lottery for years. He said 'on my way, don't move' and within five minutes he was at my front door. We checked the tickets and sat there in disbelief wondering if it was true."
