Swansea Father Wins £1 Million Lottery After Months in Car

Darren Burfitt, a 44-year-old from Swansea, discovered he had won £1 million from a EuroMillions ticket he had left in his car for four months. The revelation came when his son asked for a packet of crisps from the car, prompting Burfitt to check his lottery tickets after hearing an appeal for a missing winner. While most tickets returned only small wins, one particularly crumpled ticket revealed the life-changing prize after he manually checked the numbers. Burfitt expressed disbelief at his luck, especially since he had left his car unlocked during this time. The family, who are now planning to buy their first home and a reliable vehicle, described the win as a significant change in their lives, providing them with future security. Burfitt humorously noted the state of his car, which he referred to as a 'shed on wheels'.
