Crazy Times Ahead for £1 million National Lottery Winner

There’s lots of ways to spend a big lottery win. David Lawrence from Leatherhead in Surrey, England won a £1 million National Lottery prize. Now he wants to make an addition to his back garden, namely a crazy golf course.

The 67-year-old hasn’t had one National Lottery win, in fact he’s had two. In 2020 he won £12,000 and carried on using the same numbers. Now he’s had an even larger win, scooping £1 million.

Special numbers

David has been using a selection initially used by his late father and also his wife Jacqui’s late dad. First he had that £12,000 win but admits that “never in our wildest dreams” could those same  numbers go on to win his family £1 million.

Since his big win the lucky National Lottery winner has been getting into the swing of things and putting others first. This has included  helping charities including Children in Need and Mencap. He also teaches the Paralympic sport of Boccia. It’s something he enjoys explaining: “I am so excited by what I can do with my amazing slice of National Lottery good luck."

“It’s my life’s work”

The 67-year-old who nearly died two years ago after getting sepsis added:  “I am a true believer that it really is better to give than to receive.”  It’s not just a “passion” for him, Mr Lawrence says “it’s my life’s work.” Now he has  “grand plans to take his charity work to another level.”

The three-old crazy golf course is part of that and it’s not just going to be for his own use. “Anyone who needs it” will be able to play. His view is that “physically engaging activities really do help and inspire young adults with mental health and social care needs.”

We don’t know what the crazy golf course will look like when it’s been built. Perhaps there’ll be some windmills that players must somehow get their ball through and into the hole. Whatever the design, it’s bound to give its players a whole lot of fun.
