Ben Lowther and Holly Saul got engaged in May 2022 after winning the lottery last yearCredit: PA The mega win has allowed the couple to start planning their dream wedding, after Ben proposed to Holly in Paris. Since discovering their new fortune in October 2021, the couple, from Cambridge, have bought a new house, enjoyed a lavish holiday and Holly was able to take time off work to spend with their children. The mum-of-two said: "Ben had quipped he wasn't gullible enough to play, but I thought 'why not' and had bought a couple of tickets online on the National Lottery website. "I can't tell you how pleased I am that I did!" Holly scooped the prize in the UK EuroMillions draw after her father-in-law reminded her to purchase a ticket. He posted "big draw tonight, don't forget your tickets" in the family WhatsApp group. Ben, 39, said: "Holly and I have been together for nine years and always planned to marry one day but with two children and the cost of living, a wedding was looking like something we would celebrate much further down the line. "Now, thanks to one chunky dose of luck, I have been able to propose - in Paris no less! - and we can start to plan the perfect wedding, and our family can all gather for another celebration." When bride-to-be Holly discovered she had won she recalled bursting into tears of joy. The 29-year-old said: "We were both so shocked that I decided the only sensible option was to pour myself a G&T and Ben a Guinness. "Not a day has gone by that we haven't counted our blessings. "That day we just stared at each other giggling and still, a year later, we do the same. "I occasionally watch the film Ben took of me claiming the win and it feels as amazing now as it did then. "We're just so){kind=link}
