Glasgow couple celebrate life-changing National Lottery win
The windfall has opened new doors for Olivia Love, 36, who has now left her job at a local supermarket to pursue her dream career as a wedding content creator.
A mother of four, Olivia had long been interested in the idea since her own wedding last year—but financial responsibilities meant she couldn't afford to give up her part-time income.

The winning numbers were: 03, 27, 42, 45, 46, with the Life Ball 06.
Reflecting on her dream, Olivia said: 'We got married with a very low-key wedding last year, so we had a social media content creator instead of a photographer or videographer.
"I absolutely loved the results and have been secretly wanting to try it myself ever since.
'Winning Set For Life has meant I could quit my job and have the luxury of exploring how I make this all a reality, so I cannot wait to start building what could be my dream career!'

Olivia said: 'We rarely buy anything for ourselves as every penny we have usually goes on the kids, so it felt very strange to walk into the shops and not worry about the price tags or whether we could afford it.
'It was a real Pretty Woman moment, strolling down the high street laden with shopping bags!
'A couple of weeks before the win, we had been looking into getting a new car for Kevin as his was really on its last legs.
"We've now been able to choose a brand-new car…still nothing super fancy, but still feels special!"
Their children have also shared in the joy, with treats including an electric guitar, a new bicycle, and a selection of toys.

The second-tier prize—£10,000 a month for one year—is awarded to players who match just the five main numbers.
Each week, National Lottery players help raise around £30 million for good causes, with over £50 billion distributed to projects across the UK since the Lottery began.
