A lucky Wakefield couple are celebrating as they take home a whopping £1 million online National Lottery win.
Craig and Karen Mitchell, 53, who shared their first kiss at Karen’s 15th birthday party, were enjoying a holiday with their friends and family when they discovered they had won the EuroMillion UK Millionaire Maker. Believing something “would come up”, Karen said: “After 28 years as a specialist cancer care nurse, next month I start a new role as a specialist Macmillan Sister in Palliative and End-of-Life Care with Mid-Yorkshire Trust.
Craig said: “It was a surreal moment, Karen and I were in the bedroom secretly calling the National Lottery line while everyone else was getting ready to go sight-seeing. “As soon as the win was confirmed Karen started dancing and whooping with joy – I could have kissed her like we were 15 all over again – and the crowd downstairs quickly forgot about sightseeing, wanting to know what all the fuss was about.
