media captionEuroMillions jackpot: Hereford's Ade Goodchild revealed as winner

A factory worker who has scooped £71m in the EuroMillions lottery is quite happy
to admit it "bloody well will" change his life.

Ade Goodchild, 58, was the only winner of the £71,057,439 prize on Friday.

He told a news conference he will retire after 24 years as a metal worker in
Hereford, travel the world and buy a home with a swimming pool.

Being single, he denied he was suddenly more attractive overnight, saying: "Just
my wallet is."

Mr Goodchild is the 15th biggest winner in UK lottery history.

He bought his ticket from the Co-op store in Ledbury Road, Hereford, and
initially thought he must be just one of many to share the jackpot.



Despite hearing the winning "ping" sound from the app on his phone when he
checked his numbers, he had to look more than once.




TOP FIVE BIGGEST EUROMILLIONS WINNERS:

 * £161,653,000 - Colin and Chris Weir - July 2011

 * £148,656,000 - Gillian and Adrian Bayford - August 2012

 * £121,328,187 - No publicity - April 2018

 * £114,969,775 - Frances and Patrick Connolly - January 2019

 * £113,019,926 - No publicity - October 2010

had won a share of the jackpot

"I read the prize amount again and realised that it was actually £71m and just
one winner - me," he said.

"It was then that I called my mum and dad. Their reaction was one of complete
shock - I still don't think it's sunk in for them."

His dream holiday destinations include The Grand Canyon and the Pyramids.

"I'm not one of these winners who is going to say this win won't change me," he
said.

"It bloody well will or at least I'll give it a damn good go! There'll be no
more shift work for me."

Mr Goodchild also said he has his eye on a house that will have a Jacuzzi along
with the swimming pool.

Customers and staff at the Co-op store spoke to BBC Hereford and Worcester about
the win, with one saying it "couldn't have gone to someone any more deserving".

Mr Goodchild, originally from south Wales, celebrated by watching the Wales
grand slam victory over Ireland in the Six Nations rugby championship, on
Saturday.

"I am an only child and my parents have always been there for me. Like all
parents, they worry about my mortgage, bills and how long I will have to work
for," he said.

"I've told my parents they can stop saving now and spend my inheritance."

The winning numbers in Friday's draw were 03, 15, 24, 42 and 46 and Lucky Star
numbers were 09 and 12.



EuroMillions is played in eight countries outside the UK including Austria,
Belgium, France, the Irish Republic, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and
Switzerland.
