The father-of-four said he plans to spend his winnings on home refurbishments.
“My wife has been wanting a new kitchen for some time. If she’s happy, then I’m happy,” he said.
“She has already been looking online for designer kitchens.
“If there’s any change left over, I will probably spend it on myself as I work hard and deserve it, but the family comes first.”

Christian said: “A massive congratulations to Wasim for winning this brilliant cash prize.
“Even though he seemed more happy to see me than winning the money, I’m sure he will enjoy the new kitchen as much as his wife.”
