A MAN who won the lottery twice says that now he's got \u00a31million in the bank he is building a massive golf course in his back garden.<\/p>\n
David Lawrence, 67, from Leatherhead in Surrey, won the massive jackpot with the same numbers he played when he scooped a \u00a312,000 prize three years ago.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The lucky punter now plans to create a sprawling crazy\u00a0golf\u00a0course in his back garden\u00a0for people to enjoy.<\/p>\n
He said: "It may sound a little crazy but, I am going to build a three-hole crazy golf course in our new back garden.<\/p>\n
"Why? I\u2019ve seen over the years that physically engaging activities really do help and inspire young adults with mental\u00a0health\u00a0and social care needs.<\/p>\n
"Many love Crazy Golf and so do I so my \u2018golf course\u2019 will be open to anyone who needs it."<\/p>\n
David revealed that he always chooses the same lotto numbers as a tribute to his late dad.<\/p>\n He said: "Ever since my Dad passed away, we\u2019ve kept playing his lotto numbers.<\/p>\n "We were lucky enough to have won about \u00a312,000 three years ago using his numbers.<\/p>\n "But never in our wildest dreams could we have imagined that these same numbers would lead to a \u00a31,000,000 win."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The retired Day Services Officer for Surrey County Council has devoted his life to helping others, and doesn't intend on stopping anytime soon.<\/p>\n David has spent three decades fundraising and providing essential support services for those living with multiple disabilities.<\/p>\n He said: "I am a true believer that it really is better to give than to receive.<\/p>\n "My fundraising and charity work is more than just a passion for me, it\u2019s my life\u2019s work.<\/p>\n "I am so excited by what I can do with my amazing slice of National Lottery good luck."<\/p>\n A mum whose job is telling Brits they've won thousands of pounds in the lottery says many people never get the cash because of a ridiculous mistake.<\/p>\n<\/picture>HEDGE YOUR BETS <\/span><\/p>\n
