In a heartwarming story, a grandmother won £1 million in an April Lotto draw by playing numbers chosen by her late husband. Retired office manager Rose Tresadern, 80, from Southend-on-Sea, Essex, felt her late husband, Derek Tresadern, was watching over them. Derek passed away at 83 last year after a brief illness following their diamond wedding anniversary celebrations.
Mrs. Tresadern, along with her children Barry Tresadern, 52, and Julie Tresadern, 57, continued playing Mr. Tresadern’s numbers in their family syndicate. They managed to match five of the six main numbers plus the bonus ball in the April 18 draw, leading to their £1 million win.
Mrs. Tresadern plans to utilize part of her winnings to move to a more suitable retirement home and to purchase a new ring in memory of her late husband.
