For many of us, winning big on a scratchcard is a pipedream that we hope for but doubt will ever happen.
But for Ian and Sandra Black, that pipedream became reality, when on January 13 Ian scooped the top prize of £2 million on The National Lottery’s Monopoly Deluxe Scratchcard.
Ian Black, 61, had just finished his night shift and was driving home when he stopped to pick up a scratchcard from the Esso garage on Wigton Road in Carlisle.
Ian and Sandra have five children and 10 grandchildren who are all currently living in rented accommodation. Helping their children to get on to the property ladder is also among their plans.
