Lotto winners Arron Walshaw and Ceri Hall celebrating with champagne and who almost missed out on becoming millionaires had a Tesco customer not let them go first in the queue. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo.
A plasterer who won £1 million on the National Lottery has thanked a shopper who let him be served first as the draw was about to close.
Arron Walshaw, 32, and his fiancee, Ceri Hall, 23, from Ossett, West Yorkshire, can plan their dream wedding after they scooped the seven-figure Lotto Raffle prize.
Had the other shopper at the store not let him go first, Mr Walshaw believes he would not have had time to play. He said: “I don’t think I would have been in time to buy my ticket if she hadn’t let me go first.”
