- Karen Child disclosed in interviews published Wednesday that she has stayed single for 13 years because the win made it hard to trust new people.
- She won £8,471,383 in 2007 after buying a single lucky dip ticket on her way home from booking her wedding.
- The National Lottery confirmed the prize after her numbers appeared on TV, a moment she described as shocking.
- She bought a home, secured her children’s futures, sponsored local teams, and set up The Child Foundation to support families.
