How Did John Do It…?
John said, “I understood I got something big when the machine made a strange noise.” He felt happy that he doesn’t have to worry about money and his family anymore. He’s excited to help his family and close friends.
He told the story of how he found out about his win. The person at the store used a machine to check his ticket. The machine made a very strange noise.
The person said he needed to call the number on the ticket because it was a winning ticket, but she couldn’t pay him at the store. John thought he maybe won £100.

But then John got a big surprise. He called Camelot, the company that runs the lottery. They told him he had won the top prize. John cried because he couldn’t believe it.
He said, “Getting £10,000 every month without tax is amazing. This win changed everything for me and my loved ones. I still can’t believe it!”
John loves taking pictures of wildlife, and he likes fishing too. He wants to do these things more now. He wants to be a professional photographer and start a nice place for fishing. He also wants to build his dream home near a lake.
While he looks for the perfect place, he plans to buy a luxury camper van and go on a fishing trip around Europe. He’s looking forward to a relaxing life outdoors.
