Heartwarming moment dad tells son he won lottery after cancer battle
A father told his son he had won over $1.3million on the lottery after his two-year cancer battle - and he what he plans to do with the prize is simply heartwarming. Paul Harvey, 51, from Attleborough, England, has had a difficult few years, undergoing treatment for bowel cancer. But last month, his luck changed when he won big on the National Lottery's EuroMillions Millionaire Maker draw. The single father-of-two has big dreams for the life-changing sum, not least taking the family away on their first ever foreign holiday together, to Greece. He also plans to move house, as his current one doesn't have enough bedrooms for him and his kids, with Paul sleeping in the living room. Paul also wants to buy a Fiat 500 car for his daughter to practice driving in, as she has her test booked later this year. But before starting their new life, he had to break the news to his children - who were overjoyed and emotional about what the win would mean for the family. Paul captured the adorable moment on camera, unable to contain his excitement as his son returned home from school. Setting his phone up to record discreetly from the corner of the kitchen, he asked the boy: 'How many millionaires do you know?' The teen, whose details the father is keeping private, responded: 'Zero, I've got not money.' Paul then swore and told him: 'You do now,' and his son exclaimed: 'Shut up, you're joking, you're lying.' Paul said he got 'a massive lump in my throat' as he began to tell his son of his win - but he was determined: 'I wanted to tell the kids in person.' He continued: 'It felt like forever waiting for the kids to get home from school so I could break the news. Their reactions were hilarious and heart-warming. We all feel ridiculously excited and relieved in equal measure. It just doesn't seem real. 'Life hasn't always been easy, but the kids mean the world to me, and they always come first.' Excited for their first ever foreign trip together, the father said: 'But first we need to get our passports.' He explained why he has chosen Greece: 'I can speak Greek fluently and I can't wait to show off to the kids. I lived in Cyprus for 12 years when I was younger. 'I would love to go back one day but for now it's a holiday in Greece for me and the kids.' Paul added: I am so proud of what the kids have achieved already in life. They both have big ideas about what they want to do when they leave school, and I cannot wait to help them in their chosen careers. 'It's the important stuff like helping them to learn to drive and getting them a car and insurance so they can get to college and then work.' Reflecting on how else the sum will change his life, he said: 'We can afford our very own home and I can finally have my own bedroom rather than sleeping downstairs.' Paul got an email from the National Lottery urging him to check his account and get in touch urgently, which he initially thought was a scam. But he was soon astonished to discover he had won, after making sure using a unique confirmation code. He concluded, ecstatic: 'This win gives us so many more options but I want to take my time and do it right.'

EuroMillions: National Lottery numbers revealed for ‘jaw-dropping' £172m jackpot
One lucky ticketholder could have just won a 'jaw-dropping' £172 million in Friday's EuroMillions lottery. The jackpot reached an estimated £172 million after Tuesday's top prize went unclaimed. Friday's National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers are: 2, 12, 19, 34, 44. The lucky stars are: 6, 10. Meanwhile, Friday's National Lottery Thunderball winning numbers are: 3, 5, 9, 32, 33. The Thunderball is 12. And one UK millionaire has been created in the Millionaire Maker Selection: ZJMQ51115. Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at National Lottery operator Allwyn, called Friday's potential jackpot 'jaw-dropping'. He said: 'A single UK winner of this jaw-dropping prize would make National Lottery history, coming in as the fourth biggest National Lottery winner of all time, and it would also be the 20th win of over £100 million since The National Lottery began.' While no one matched the jackpot on Tuesday, two UK players came close – each winning £192,769 for matching five numbers and one Lucky Star. It comes after a single ticketholder became the biggest ever EuroMillions lottery winner in the UK and Ireland in June. The jackpot of £208m was the largest prize the EuroMillions has ever seen, and was scooped up by a lucky player in Ireland, who purchased the ticket in a retail outlet in Co Cork. Meanwhile, a single father who has battled bowel cancer captured the touching moment he told his son he had won £1 million on the lottery, with the pair hugging and jumping excitedly around the kitchen in the video. Paul Harvey, of Attleborough, Norfolk, said on Thursday that he wants to treat his two teenage children to their first foreign holiday together – to Greece. The 51-year-old, full-time dad, who has had an unsettling two years following treatment for bowel cancer, also plans to buy a Fiat 500 for his daughter who is learning to drive. 'Life hasn't always been easy, but the kids mean the world to me, and they always come first,' he said.
