A man from Peterborough will pocket £10,000 every month for the next 30 years after winning the top prize on the National Lottery's Set For Life draw.

Dean Weymes, 24, scooped the fortune after his Lucky Dip ticket matched five main numbers and one Life Ball in the draw on July 29.

He's the fourth person to win the prize since the game launched in March, but the first to go public.

Mr Weymes, who currently lives with his sister Sarah, has now quit his job at Amazon and is hoping to pursue his dream career as a script writer.

He's also planning a family trip to Disneyland as well as putting down a deposit on a new house.

"Getting £10k every month allows me to start working through my bucket list. I have always wanted to fulfil my dream to become a script writer and this now allows me the freedom to do it," he said.

"I didn’t have to give it a second thought – I quit my current role so I can begin to work on the job I have always wanted. It is an incredible feeling that I will be getting £10k every month for 30 years – I literally am living the dream!

“I have a trip already booked for Disneyland Paris with my sister, brother in law and nephew– and this win will mean lots of extra spending money! I am now worry-free for the rest of my life!”
