Ruth Breen was on her lunch break when she discovered she had £1m in the bank
Ruth Breen, 45, was on her lunch break in work at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan in 2014 when she checked her emails and discovered she had won £1 million on the EuroMillions. A decade on, the mum-of-one is still working for the NHS, although she has enjoyed splashing out on holidays to destinations such as Dubai, St Lucia and Mauritius.
Ruth also wanted to continue working as an example to her daughter, who was 11 when she won. She said: “The universe gifted me something incredible but you can’t take it for granted, not everybody’s that lucky.” Ruth still lives in the house she bought just before her win and said most of the new mothers she works with are unaware they are being looked after by a millionaire.
