A builder, who along with his wife became multi-millionaires after a lotto win, has treated himself to a second-hand car, a media report said.
Steve Thomson, 42, said flashy motors were "waste of money". He continues to work as a builder to complete pending works because it makes him "feel normal", Mail Online reported.
