In Bournemouth, UK, 22-year-old roofer Jamie Heavens made a routine fuel stop that changed his life forever. After switching drinks at the store, he noticed the customer ahead buying a scratch card. Remembering that he once won by copying another customer’s purchase at age 16, he bought a scratch card too—and revealed a £1 million ($1.28 million) jackpot.
Initially disbelieved by his family, the win was quickly confirmed. Heavens quit his job, celebrated with loved ones, and used the prize money to buy a luxury car and start his own roofing business—turning luck into lasting success.
