Here's Uckfield's lottery jackpot winner Paul Nelson
Here's 44-year-old Paul Nelson the lucky Uckfield winner of two Health Lottery jackpots amounting to £200,000.
Paul bought two tickets from Tesco in Bell Farm Road, Uckfield, on two consecutive days using playcards.
He said: "I spent £5 altogether on The Health Lottery last week. I'd forgotten I had already played the numbers so ended up playing them again the next day. I can't believe my luck."
Paul found out he had won on Sunday night when he asked for the numbers from the draw on November 5. He discovered he had matched all five numbers on both of his tickets. He had selected the numbers at random but repeated one of his lines on both play cards.
Paul then waited until Monday morning to tell his partner Corrine, pictured with him below, once he had called the helpine to confirm his win. Thanks to Ron Hill for the picture below.
The Daily Star reported today that Paul has enjoyed a third life-changing stroke of luck. Here is their story: Health Lottery: Double winner Paul's sis gets lung transplant ok
