Overview
- Daniel Wright discovered a £1,000,000 EuroMillions win via email and the official app while on holiday in Cape Verde.
- Lottery staff questioned his location due to rules that can invalidate tickets bought from outside the UK.
- His claim was approved because the entry was paid through a regular UK standing order rather than a purchase made abroad.
- He waited to return home before proceeding and now advises winners not to contact the lottery while overseas.
- After collecting the prize, he traveled, invested in a couple of businesses, and focused on writing, recounting the experience on James English's podcast.
