In a heartwarming turn of events, a grandmother won a £1 million Lotto prize in April by playing numbers selected by her late husband years ago.
Retired office manager Rose Tresadern, aged 80 from Southend-on-Sea in Essex, expressed that it felt like her late husband, Derek Tresadern, was still looking out for them. Derek passed away at 83 after a short illness following their diamond wedding anniversary celebration.
Rose, along with her children Barry Tresadern, 52, and Julie Tresadern, 57, continued to play Derek’s numbers every week in their family syndicate. Their loyalty paid off when they matched five of the six main numbers plus the bonus ball in the April 18 Lotto draw.
Rose plans to utilize part of her £1 million share to relocate to a retirement facility more suited to her mobility requirements and to purchase a new ring as a remembrance of her late husband.
