Cardiff Cabbie Scoops Millionaire Raffle Prize
Last Updated: Tuesday 6th September 2011, 13:59
All we’ve heard about over the last few days are the Weirs, the lucky couple who scooped the £161 million record Euromillions prize. But as the lottery jackpot was climbing, many other players also won smaller, but still life-changing lottery prizes, including a Cardiff Cabbie who scooped the Millionaire Raffle prize as the Euromillions reached its cap last week!
Adam Derbi received a £6 tip when driving his taxi last week, and as everyone was talking about the Euromillions capped jackpot, he decided to try his luck and spend the cash on a few lottery tickets.
Upon checking the Euromillions result he saw the typical outcome, a couple of pound for matching two main numbers. However, upon glancing down on the Millionaire Raffle result, he realised that he was indeed a winner.
The lucky cabbie will now be moving his family, a wife and four daughters out of their rented home in the Rumney area of Cardiff into another part of the city, but says he will continue work.
It’s just another good lucky story from the record Euromillions jackpot, that while only created one winner, saw many millionaires along the way also.
The next Euromillions Lottery draw will be held on Tuesday evening, and you can ensure you don’t miss a win, or a Millionaire Raffle win like Mr Derbi almost did, by buying your Euromillions tickets online! It’s the safest and most convenient way to buy Euromillions tickets, and the National Lottery will even send you an email if you’re a lucky winner!
