Rail worker plans holiday after EuroMillions win
24th June 2011
A father has got holiday shopping on his mind after winning £1 million on EuroMillions.
Mark Benbow, a rail worker in Merthyr Tydfil, won the Millionaire Super Raffle in the June 7 draw.
And after choosing Rome as the destination for his trip, he's now crossing travel necessities off the list including holiday insurance and converting his new cash to euro as he goes to buy foreign currency.
Mr Benbow's windfall came just days before he and wife Lisa celebrated their second wedding anniversary.
And it couldn't have come at a better time as the couple, as Mr Benbow explained: "We didn't get a chance to go away after we married because we couldn't afford it. So the win will mean me and Lisa can finally have a honeymoon.
