Louise and Matt in shock after hearing about her big win

Lend us 20 quid...modest ask after partner wins £1million

RETIRED teaching assistant Louise Bidmead won £1million - then gave her partner £20 to get a round in down the pub.

Louise, 65, became a millionaire thanks to an Omaze subscription. Her first treat was a £144 ice cream machine, then she turned up the heating without worrying about the bills.

The mum of two revealed she and partner Matt Power, 55, had been waiting for her pension to arrive to ease the pressure, adding: “It feels like we haven’t got a worry in the world any more.”
