Russell appears to have struck gold by winning £100,000, after only purchasing four tickets at just £5 each.

Speaking of his big win, he admits that the money is “life-changing” for him.

Chose £100,000 over Aston Martin

He could have taken home a highly coveted Aston Martin Vantage, but opted for the cash prize instead as he had his heart set on a different type of vehicle.

Russell expressed his excitement by sharing what he will do with the money.

“I have always wanted an Audi R8, so I think I might go and buy one of those, and then sell it after a year and put my sensible head on and buy something to future-proof my pension”.
