Store manager wins £500,000 lottery prize

A supermarket store manager from Milton Keynes is celebrating after he won the £500,000 top prize on an online Instant Win Game from The National Lottery.

Gareth Bradley, who's 41, was running a series of job interviews from home when, in a break between calls, he logged on to his online National Lottery account and started to play the online Instant Win Game, Mega Cashword.

Not knowing whether to scream or cry with joy, Gareth instead rang his partner of eight years, Connor Dennis to share the news.

The pair have no plans to give up work, instead they will set aside a lump sum to pay off their mortgage.
