Euromillons winning taxi driver, 73, burst into tears after scooping £1million prize and says to wife: 'We're millionaires' Granddad Arthur Howard won the seven digit sum on Friday's millionaires raffle A pensioner scooped a £1million lottery jackpot then broke into tears as he told his wife: "We're millionaires." Granddad Arthur Howard won the seven digit sum on Friday's Euromillions raffle. The Scottish taxi driver was quick to hang up his hang cab keys, reports the Daily Record . His son Allan revealed that Arthur’s wife Emma and daughter Sandra came home from shopping and were the last to hear the news. He told our sister paper the East Kilbride News: “My mum was puzzled when she came home and saw everyone at the windows. “She had no idea what was going on. My dad took her hand and, through tears, said: ‘Hen, we’re millionaires.’ “It’s without a doubt the happiest time of our lives. “My mum and dad aren’t drinkers but the champagne came out after that.” Arthur, 73, who spends £20 a week on the lottery, was astonished when his numbers finally came up. Allan said: “My dad always buys five lines on the lottery at his local One-O-One every Friday and Saturday. “It was only when he went to the shop the next day to get his ticket checked that the sales girl told him he’d won the millionaire raffle. “He still didn’t realise how much he had won and called lottery company Camelot when he got home. “He called the number and the girl said he’d won £2.50 on his first line, £5.70 on his fourth line and the fifth line had made him a millionaire because his raffle number had come up. “He let out a scream and shouted, ‘Yes!’” With no idea how they’ll spend their windfall, Arthur and Emma are planning a week’s holiday in Dubai. His boss, Allan Black of Kelvin Kabs, said: “He’s a lovely guy. I wasn’t sure if he was going to retire because he loves his job. I told him I’d fire him if he didn’t quit. “We’ll be sad to see him go but good luck to him.” source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/eu ... 73-7298786 |

Granddad Arthur Howard won the seven digit sum on Friday's Euromillions raffle. The Scottish taxi driver was quick to hang up his hang cab keys, reports the Daily Record . Just like that before even working out what you're doing with the money which isn't a great deal in todays terms Arthur, 73, who spends £20 a week on the lottery, was astonished when his numbers finally came up. Allan said: “My dad always buys five lines on the lottery at his local One-O-One every Friday and Saturday. so thats £1000 a year for how many years ?  With no idea how they’ll spend their windfall, Arthur and Emma are planning a week’s holiday in Dubai. Obviously got the same tastes as Jimbob  His boss, Allan Black of Kelvin Kabs, said: “He’s a lovely guy. I wasn’t sure if he was going to retire because he loves his job. I told him I’d fire him if he didn’t quit. “We’ll be sad to see him go but good luck to him.” Wanted shot of him anyway ?  source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/eu ... 73-7298786 |

Now there's an idea he could buy futures in North sea production hoping the price will go up before the oil companies go bust
