Falkirk man wins £1 million in lottery

A retired construction manager from Falkirk has scooped up a massive £1 million in the National Lottery.

John Wallman woke up on March 25th to a phone notification saying he'd won the cash. 

The 76 year old said he "couldn't take it in at first" & that his wife thought he had been scammed. 

John said:

“I woke up in the early hours of Saturday morning and turned on my phone. A notification came up from the National Lottery app but I didn’t think anything of it until I sat down to breakfast later that morning. 

“I read the notification and it said I had won £1,000,000 but I didn’t really believe it. I called the National Lottery Line and even when I heard those words – ‘congratulations, you’re a winner’ – I just couldn’t take it in.

“My wife came downstairs and when she saw me in tears on the phone she thought I’d been scammed or that something bad had happened!”
