00:00On January the 22nd, we won £7.6 million on the National Lottery, and it was on the

00:10Saturday night, and Barbara started checking the numbers, and she says, Ray, we've got

00:17three numbers.

00:18So I said, great, that's for Wednesday and Saturday, because it was a £5 ticket.

00:23She said, we've got four.

00:24I said, oh, that will be good then, it might be £100.

00:29She says, Ray, we've got six.

00:30I said, we haven't.

00:31She says, we have.

00:32We haven't.

00:33We have.

00:34Then Barbara's sister rang at nine o'clock.

00:38She says, Barbara, she says, are you sure you've got six numbers?

00:42She says yes, and she went backwards and forwards to her sister, like, so I said, pass me the

00:49phone.

00:50She said, are you there, Pat?

00:51I said, yeah.

00:52I said, well, we've definitely got six numbers.

00:55So I passed it back to Barbara, and she says, well, Barbara, if you've got six numbers,

00:59you've won it on your own, it's £7.6 million.

01:03We couldn't actually believe the amount of money.

01:07I know, as time went by, I used to say, I'd love to have seen that on a pallet, £7.6

01:13million, you know, just for the sake of it.

01:17And she says, well, what we've got to do now, she says, we've got to look about sharing

01:22this out.

01:23I said, well, I agree with you, and the reason was I was 63, and Barbara says, that's a lot

01:29of money.

01:30She says, we couldn't spend all that money, so we'll do some good with it, and that's

01:35what we've done.

01:36We sat down one Saturday morning, and our son had just gone, and he said, she picked

01:42the paper up, and she says, yeah, look at this, she says, I said, what's the matter?

01:46He says, it's these poor Monte Cassino veterans, and they can't afford to go on the anniversary,

01:52and it probably might mean the last anniversary to some of these chaps, because they've got

01:58a photograph.

01:59So, I says, well, what do you want?

02:00She says, £12,000.

02:01I says, £12,000?

02:02She says, yeah.

02:03I says, well, what are you going to do?

02:04She says, I'm going to send it for them, she says, if it hadn't been for them, we'd probably

02:12not have been here.

02:14We donated £10,000 first off, at the start, we donated £10,000 to the Children's Hospital,

02:23£10,000 to get the teenage unit moving, and there were a lot of charities that we

02:36helped, and our saying is that we made a lot of people happy.
