Euromillions: a British woman working two jobs pockets nearly a million euros

There are great stories that we would like to hear more often. This is the case of that of Sally-Ann Hanitzsch. Until then, this 55-year-old Briton held two jobs to make ends meet.

That was before winning a EuroMillions jackpot. The mother of the family pocketed the sum of 838,125 pounds, i.e. 948,330 eurosin the December 2, 2022 draw.

A verified lottery ticket… one month after the draw

As reported an article from the BBC dated Thursday, March 9, 2023, it found all five correct numbers and one star.

A perfect score that almost fell into oblivion. Indeed, Sally-Ann Hanitzsch only checked her winning ticketone month after the draw. The winner admitted that she rarely checked her lottery tickets.

This sum is likely to change the life of this 50-year-old. Working for the City Council of Cambourne (England), she also works 20 hours per week in a supermarketas a customer service assistant.

What does she intend to do with the money won?

“The victory means that I will be able to recover some of this time and also help my family financially,” she said, as reported by the BBC.

Indeed, with this money, the fifty-something account help daughter and son buy houses.

But also enjoy it personally. After living in social housingthe mother of the family has chosen to buy a house, to pay off her debts, but also to treat herself to a great vacation, especially in Japan.

Since the big news, Sally-Ann Hanitzsch has quit her job at the supermarket, but has pledged to continue on city council. “I’m only 55, I love my job and my board colleagues,” she said.
