A lottery winner who became a millionaire three months ago said an eight-day hospital stay was the wake-up call he needed to prioritise his health after three months of “partying”.
Adam Lopez, 39, from Mattishall, near Norwich, watched his bank account climb from £12.40 to £1,000,012.40 after buying a winning scratchcard from a corner shop in Hellesdon, in July.
However, on 10 September he was taken to hospital in an ambulance with a bilateral pulmonary embolism.
“I knew what I was doing was going to come to an end eventually, and it nearly came to an end in the worst possible way. It was a massive, massive wake-up call,” he said.
