Brighouse grandfather celebrates winning £65,000 with The Pools
A Brighouse grandfather is celebrating a £65,000 win on The Pools after correctly predicting five numbers on lotto game Lucky Clover.
Carl, 62, claimed the winning coupon after many years playing The Pools.
He said: “I’ve had small wins here and there playing The Pools across many years, but nothing compares to this.
"I have my monthly subscription and just see how I go, playing the Classic Pools and Lucky Clover, and was shocked when I received a phone call from the team at The Pools.”
When asked what he was going to spend the money on Carl said: “My brother is a bit of a car expert, so I’ll definitely be getting a new car.
"I’m going to keep working, because I want to keep going until I get to retirement age.
“I have three grandchildren.
“There will be a few more presents coming their way this Christmas!”
“I like to go down and watch Halifax Town, but I’m an Arsenal fan too. I’ve had a great few weeks with first Arsenal winning the Premier League, and now picking up this prize with The Pools.”
Carl was one of two players to claim a £65,000 prize with Lucky Clover, along with Gary, a 59-year-old grandfather from Lincolnshire.
