English grandpa scoops £150.000 shortly after losing his job

Things weren’t looking up for Paul Walker, who was facing a tough future after being informed he’s about to lose his job, but his luck changed in a blink of an eye. His financial worries completely disappeared after the Irish Lotto ticket he bought on a whim turned out to be worth £150.000.

This 56-year-old grandfather is no stranger to sports betting, but after his beloved Manchester United lost one of the games he placed a bet on, Walker wanted to try something a little bit different. He bought an Irish Lotto ticket with some spare change he had in his pocket and decided to check the numbers after the whole town started buzzing about the mystery winner.

Walker has been going through a rough patch, and gave this game a try because he could really use a miracle. His bosses recently informed him he’s about to be made redundant sometime next year. On the top of everything, he had an agonizing toothache, but couldn’t even get emergency dental appointment.

Everyone in Betfred was super excited to learn one of the locals won £150.000 and did their best to track down the winner. Walker’s boss Fred Done personally congratulated him on his good fortune, and said this was the perfect time for Paul to beat the odds and win so much from such a tiny stake.

Now that his hardships are finally over, the lucky grandpa is thinking of the ways to spend his amazing fortune. He’ll go on a Mediterranean cruise with wife Susan, before visiting Mexico. They’re also thinking about getting a new car and treating their family to the best Christmas ever.
