JOBLESS Euromillions winner Les Scadding was looking for work before his incredible win.

Now he wants to splash out on holidays in Barbados and to replace his Citroen C5 with a Range Rover Sport.

Mr Scadding discovered that he and his wife had won the jackpot on Saturday evening after going to a Tesco supermarket in Newport to buy some groceries.

He decided to check his Euromillions ticket on the way out of the store, at which point he was told to contact Lottery operator Camelot.

Taking the news in their stride, the couple celebrated with Mrs Peachey-Scadding's mother in their favourite restaurant, The Priory in Caerleon.

Mr Scadding said: "We always go to The Priory, as I know the owner really well, so we wouldn't have gone anywhere different.

"We ordered a couple of bottles of champagne and just had a quiet chat about it all, and tried to let it all sink in.’’ Mr Scadding, who has three grown-up children from his first marriage, is a qualified mechanic but has worked for many years as a driver.

He is currently out of work, and had been looking for temporary driving contracts until his incredible win on Friday.

His wife runs her own marketing company from home.

She said: "There is quite a lot of pressure involved in running your own business, and I've been working 12-hour days recently. This win means I can take my foot off the pedal and relax a bit.’’ The couple plan to move to a bigger house, but say they will probably stay in South Wales, although they may also buy a holiday home.
