Bus driver wins £1 million

A bus driver from Devon purchased a National Lottery Scratchcard and scooped a £1 million prize.

Steve Goodwin, who hails from Holsworthy, picked up the card at a supermarket on Easter Monday.

Having never been able to get on to the property ladder, the 51-year-old said one of his first major purchases would be a home, after a lifetime of renting.

Mr Goodwin added that he still intended to keep his job, but that he and his partner, Heidi Hammond, were paying off their debts, planning ‘more holidays’, and using the winnings as a ‘nest egg for our retirement’.
