National Lottery winner, 24, tells how he will spend £10,000 a month for next 30 years

A 24-year-old who won £10,000 a month for the next 30 years has already booked Disneyland Paris - and he has far more in the pipeline.

Dean Weymes matched five main numbers and one Life Ball while playing the new National Lottery game.

The win means the graduate will be given a staggering £3.6 million in total, until the age of 54 - The Mirror reports.

And he is already making plans for his new-found fortune with a getaway to Disneyland Paris booked and a tandem skydive on the cards.

Dean said: "This win will mean lots of extra spending money.

"I am now worry free for the rest of my life.

"Everything still seems quite unreal – the news really is still sinking in.

“I cannot actually believe that I am really going to be able to do these things – and do them right now."

Five ways to increase your chances of winning the lottery

The screen-writing graduate, who lives in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, with his sister Sarah, says he is "living the dream" after the win on August 5.

And he said he can now "work through his bucket list" which includes working towards his dream job.

He said: "I have always wanted to become a scriptwriter and this now allows me the freedom to do it.

"I didn’t have to give it a second thought – I quit my current role so I can begin to work on the job I have always wanted.

"It is an incredible feeling that I will be getting £10k every month for 30 years – I literally am living the dream.”

Set For Life from The National Lottery costs £1.50 per line to play.

Draws take place every Monday and Thursday.

Earlier this month the country's youngest lottery winner said she was a prime example of why kids shouldn't be allowed to play.

Calllie Rodgers won a £1.8million jackpot at the age of 16.

But now aged 32, she says, she was "too young" to win the fortune after it made her life hell.

She insists she was too young to handle the pressure and wants to stop other kids going through the same hell, the Mirror Online reports.

Single mum-of-three Callie is now earning just £12,000 a year as a carer and living in a £500-a-month rented home but she insisted “I am the happiest I have ever been.”

National Lottery players raise, on average, around £30 million for National Lottery-funded projects every week across the arts, sports, heritage, health, education, environment, charity and voluntary sectors.
