For some, a huge lottery windfall may change the course their life takes, but one British teenager has revealed her luck playing UK National Lottery will not prompt her to quit her two jobs.
According to the Daily Mail, Eloise Hutchinson – who is 19 and lives in Colchester- landed an enormous £1.3 million prize playing the Lotto on New Year’s Eve (December 31st).

She bought the lottery ticket at the supermarket where she works part time and got her boyfriend to check the numbers, because she originally thought she only had four of the seven necessary to win the top prize.
Ms Hutchinson has taken managing her new wealth in her stride and told the press that she intends to carry on in her current job, while also running a mobile beauty therapy business – an enterprise she set up in 2011 with help from the Prince’s Trust youth funding scheme.
The winner is one of three lottery ticket holders to claim a jackpot prize that night, however her fellow millionaires have not decided to go public.
Even the people around Ms Hutchinson are keeping their feet firmly on the ground, with her boyfriend David Heard, 25, even paying for the celebratory meal they enjoyed to fete her newfound wealth.
Naturally, the lucky teen has gone out to enjoy a little retail therapy with her new flexible finances and admits she bought herself an iPad last week and then went shopping for some new clothes, but remains firm that the majority of the cash will be used to ensure she has a comfortable future.
Ms Hutchinson says the next thing she will splash out on is a holiday to Jamaica and perhaps moving in with her boyfriend, but a flash set of wheels are not a priority, with the winner claiming she only wants to replace her Ford Fiesta with a newer model.
Lottery fans may share the lucky teen’s plans for her new fortune and they too could win an enormous cash prize if they pick a set of winning numbers when they enter the next UK National Lottery draw, which is scheduled for tomorrow night (January 11th), with an estimated jackpot worth £2.2 million.
