Peter Heal is a 37 year old engineer from Devon and always plays the lottery. This man takes the lotto seriously and has played the same numbers for 13 years, after all they have to pay off some time.

So what do you do when your off work because your sick to leave your house? Well this man went online to play his numbers for the first time and those same numbers that he had been playing all those years finally won,

Heal ended up getting all his numbers for £2.8 million, now the question is will he go back to work now or just call in permanently...

Well he doesn't know the answer to that question yet as he says, "I've been off sick from work and I went online so I didn't have to go out. Now I am trying to decide whether I shall go back to work at all".

A coworker of his at the Western Power Distribution Steve Fry says that he is very happy for him but at the same time he is also jealous of the newfound wealth as he admits, "He's a smashing guy and nobody deserves it more than him - apart from me. I have to admit I'm dead jealous," Fry said.
