UK National Lottery fans ‘won jackpot by being positive’ – February 9th 2012

  by: admin - Category:

Some lottery winners believe their good fortune is down to lucky numbers or good omens, while others say their windfall was claimed purely out of chance – but one British couple are certain their positive frame of mind is what led them to taking home a £2 million top prize.

Paul Kibler and his wife Marie are celebrating their enormous payout after choosing all the correct numbers when playing UKNational Lottery last Wednesday (February 1st).

The couple – who are from Sutton Coldfield in theWest Midlands- think their attitude about looking on the bright side of life is why they are now fabulously wealthy.

Mrs Kibler, who is 64, said: “I always remember a lady saying to me, think lucky and you will be lucky.”

“That and trying to be more positive to deal with stress and worry has led me to make a real effort to look on the bright side,” she admitted.

On the night of the draw, Mr Kibler revealed he was watching the news and waiting for the National Lottery numbers to come up, while his other half was getting to go to bed.

She shouted downstairs to her husband wishing him luck and shortly afterwards he came into the bedroom clutching the lottery ticket.

Mr Kibler said he thought he had all six numbers but was not certain, so the pair went online to use a lottery results checker when it dawned on them they had landed a fortune.

Mrs Kibler revealed that when they called the UKlottery headquarters Camelot the following morning and it was confirmed they would be taking home more than £2 million, she cried.

She revealed the fortune will allow her to retire early from her job as a medical secretary, while her husband is looking forward to returning to work following absence due to illness.

New cars are also on the Kiblers’ shopping list, withy the couple favouring Mercedes models.

Finally, both want to take Mr Kibler’s father on a cruise as a token of thanks, because on the night they received confirmation from Camelot, they all went out for dinner together, but neither of the lucky lottery winners had brought any money with them – forcing Kibler senior to pay the bill.

Lottery fans can play the UK National Lottery at theLotter on Saturday to be in with a chance of winning £4.1 million.
