Aberdeen Voice<\/a>. “My husband doesn\u2019t have a passport, so when we do finally take a break it won\u2019t be anywhere exotic \u2013 it will be in Scotland.”<\/p>\n\u201cI might treat myself to a 4\u00d74 to make getting in and out of the farm easier. I asked my husband if he would like a new car, but he\u2019s happy with the one he\u2019s got. I\u2019ve become a millionaire, but the day I really hit the jackpot was the day I met my husband.\u201d<\/p>\n
Living in tiny Buckie, Banffshire, Scotland, Mandy and her husband, John, have been married for two years. They’ve yet to take a honeymoon and, despite winning big, they have the sense not to blow their winnings on lavish trips.<\/p>\n

As for how Mandy won her jackpot, here’s a look at how she described the event to the Aberdeen Voice:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I switched onto the progressive jackpot, I started to lose. I was spinning away and I was down to my last \u00a33. I thought there was no way I would win anything then.<\/p>\n\u201cI spun again and all the symbols matched. I thought I was seeing things and then a message flashed up to say that I had won the jackpot. When I saw the number I thought it was a mistake or a joke \u2013 I really didn\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t sleep for about three nights afterwards. It has come as a huge shock, but a very welcome one. I\u2019m not going to go wild and splurge it all on cars or holidays: we love this lifestyle and we love the farm, and we want to make a future for ourselves here.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
