Couple quit jobs after £4m Lotto win and vow to 'slow down and enjoy life'
Herald Express
|June 25, 2025
A POLICE radio operator from Paignton has handed in his notice after winning £3,966,543 on the National Lottery.
Jon Waring, 57, has been a radio operator at Devon and Cornwall Police for 16 years, while wife, Lucy, 48, is working her notice as a nurse at Torbay Hospital.
Jon found out he had won after something made him wake up at 4am - and check his emails.
The couple, who also have a 15-year-old daughter, are planning to take life at a more relaxed pace thanks to the jackpot win.
And they already have their wishlist planned out, with a Harley-Davidson trike topping the shopping list for Jon and a hot tub the number one priority for Lucy.
A new family home while remaining in the same area where Jon and Lucy have lived all of their lives is also high on the list.
Jon said news of the huge win, which saw him match six numbers in The National Lottery Lotto draw on May 31, still doesn't feel real.
