Euromillions winner Neil Trotter on what he did with his £108m jackpot

I sort of planned the whole thing it's taken me probably five years to get my life to where I want it it's been a bit of a struggle is adjusting to having so much money and but this is the dream this was my dream to buy a big house with a some land and a lake and I've managed to do that and you said you know it's taken five years to kind of get to this point mentally emotionally how difficult was it for you to come to terms with how this was going to change your life so dramatically well over I've always worked all my life so going from having to work to not having to work anymore was quite a strange thing to adjust to and I soon found out that sitting at home watching telly all day was going to be quite boring and so I bought a house that needed a lot of work and probably bigger than I thought I was going to buy but unfortunately it had to have a like you know I wanted that and this was the only thing that really fitted the bill me or do you think we can see the lake I know you put your camera person there with you and it'll show around is that all right and while you're doing that well commence following you just tell me why you decided to go public because that in itself is it must have been quite tricky yeah it was quite tricky but I don't really see that there's any there's any option other than to go public if you want to live the dream which is have the house the money and spend it you know you've got to go public people have said in the past you know that they'd hide the money I think 170 million is going to be impossible to hide so you know this is the like that I've bought you know and and the big house and I'm living my dream obviously going public camera lot of helps me a lot with lots of stuff and obviously we get we get other winners that can help us and talk to us and that sort of thing yeah I mean the lake is very impressive who's the M friend who's just brought a friend there you four legged friend that's Millie with dog which we've we're we've managed to get a donk now obviously that's part of winning the lottery we can afford to have a dog and we haven't got to go to work so she gets lots of walks and of course your life has been transformed but one of the things I suppose when you have those conversations about winning the lottery is who would you give money to you know is it does it go to good causes which friends which family how tricky was that making those decisions well Camelot helped us they said that you know you want to stop and don't do anything straight away wait so I waited quite a while I'd already decided that my sister was going to I was going to help my sister out because she was quite poorly so I bought her a house and we we've helped a few people out but don't really you know I've done a lot of it without any publicity or anything that's the wait for word isn't it Neil look congratulations very pleased for you really pleased you are living the dream and you seem happy as well Millie seems lovely the lakes great sun shining what more could you want have a lovely lovely day
