“20-year-old wins lottery, goes back to work”
A 20-year-old trainee gas engineer who won the equivalent of 320 million baht in the British lottery says he was back working on blocked drains the day after claiming his cash.
James Clarkson, 20, from Carlisle found out he’d hit the £7.5 National Lottery jackpot on 4 January – but said he has no plans to quit his job.
“I was out in the cold fixing blocked drains the day after I found out I had won,” he said.
“I’m not going to stop working, I’m too young,” he added, admitting he knew it might sound “mad” to some.
“I want to qualify as a heating engineer and then go from there.
“I need to have a purpose in life, plus dad wouldn’t let me not work anyway. He says there are plenty of millionaires out there that still work and you need a reason to get up each day.”
