Builder swaps forklift for Range Rover after £1m scratchcard win

  • He described the moment the National Lottery confirmed his prize as 'the best call I’ve ever made', sharing the news with his mother and stepfather.
  • Lopez has since bought a Range Rover Sport for himself and a Range Rover Evoque for his mother, believing the win is connected to his late father.
  • He plans to take a break from work, enjoy a family holiday to Barbados, visit friends in New York, and save the remainder of his winnings for the future.
