A lotto celebrating for lucky family

A Pembroke Dock care assistant had a lotto luck last week, after scooping £95,476 in the National Lottery.

Susan Davies, a care assistant at Pembroke Haven Residential Home, matched five numbers and the bonus ball and was in disbelief when she checked her numbers on Teletext on Sunday April 22.

"I was in total shock," said Mrs Davies. "It took a while to sink in."

Susan was so shocked, her daughter Sarah had to double check the numbers for her mum.

Now that the news has finally sunk in, Susan has decided to spend some of the money treating herself and her husband Paul to a holiday.

"The first thing I'm going to do is get passports for us both, as Paul has never been abroad and I haven't for many years," she said.

Her children, Emma, 25, Sarah, 21, and Jonathon, 16, needn't feel left out either as their mum has promised to share some of her winnings with them.

The money will also provide a retirement fund for the couple who, until now, had no life savings at all.

"This money will give us a fantastic feeling of security for the first time in our lives," added Mrs Davies.
