Couple who won £100k on EuroMillions to use money to fulfil dream of fostering children
A couple from the West Midlands who won £100,000 in the EuroMillions lottery are going to use their win to convert their garage into extra bedrooms so they can fulfil their dream of fostering children.
Karleen and Mark Reece from Stourport-on-Severn, who have three children, will now embark on the fostering journey thanks to their lucky lottery ticket, which they bought from a Tesco Express in Kidderminster.
Kathleen, a 41-year-old teaching assistant, said: "I’ve always wanted to foster children. Mark and I discussed it many years ago and then we had our own.
"My three kids will be leaving home soon and I have too much love to give. I've always wanted to foster but never had the right circumstances. The win will allow me to do this."
The win is still sinking in for Karleen who admits she hasn’t always been positive about her husband buying EuroMillions tickets believing that they would never win.
Karleen said: "Every Friday Mark comes home from work with a EuroMillions ticket, and I always moan at him. We’ve won a few pounds over the years, but I’ve never seen myself as a lucky person.
"On the Friday of the win, Mark didn’t give me the tickets as usual because he was out that night and kept them in his wallet. We were out on the Saturday night too, so it was only on Sunday morning that I checked the tickets.
