Man who scooped £13m in lotto thought he’d won £25

A great-grandfather who scooped a £13.5m (€17m) lotto jackpot thought he had won just £25.

Peter Congdon, 67, won £13,538,113 after matching six numbers in last Wednesday’s Lotto quadruple rollover draw.

However, before buying a ticket, the widower was told by three different people that he would be lucky on the day of the draw after winning a small amount of money on National Lottery scratchcards three days in a row.
