Truck driver quits job minutes after winning £166,666 lottery prize

After learning that he and his spouse had won £166,666 each on the People's Postcode Lottery, a truck driver quit his job in a matter of minutes, stating that it feels like a dream.

After 42 years of operating heavy goods lorries, he took retirement and a much-needed break, calling his employer from his truck cab to inform him that he would not be returning the next day or at all.

The Newcastle upon Tyne couple plans to take a family vacation to Scotland in August and renovate their bathroom and garden with the money.
