A single father from Attleborough, Norfolk, Paul Harvey, recently beat bowel cancer and has now won £1 million in the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker draw. At 51 years old, this full-time dad didn’t realize his win until a week after the draw on July 4, after initially spotting only a small prize and dismissing a notification email as a possible scam. Only after verifying his lottery account did he discover the life-changing news.
Harvey captured the emotional moment on video, as he revealed the win to his teenage son when he came home from school—the two embraced, laughed, and jumped around their kitchen in sheer delight. With the euphoria still sinking in, Harvey shared how deeply meaningful the win is for him and his children, stating that “life hasn’t always been easy, but the kids mean the world to me, and they always come first.”
He plans to spend the money thoughtfully. Top of his list is treating his two teenagers to their first-ever family holiday abroad, with Greece being the chosen destination—a meaningful choice given his own youthful years living in Cyprus. He also intends to buy his daughter a Fiat 500 to support her as she’s learning to drive. Beyond these joys, Harvey hopes to invest in their futures—helping with education, career plans, and making their lives more stable and fulfilling.
