Racing fans Lisa Forgie and Neil Robertson have climbed onto the winner’s podium after winning more than £50,000 in the National Lottery.
The couple, from Nigg, Aberdeen, scooped £51,355 from a lottery draw last Wednesday.
The avid Formula One fans are now planning to spend some of their cash prize on a globe-trotting trip to watch some of the biggest races in the world.
Miss Forgie said: “I have been to lots of Grand Prix races, including Belgium and Silverstone, but my dream is to go to Brazil. I’ll definitely think about planning a trip there now I’ve won.
“I have played the same numbers for so long that I know them off by heart, and as I read along the line I couldn’t quite believe they were the same.
“I kept reciting my line in my head to make sure they matched, it just seemed unreal.”
When the champagne-popping news had been confirmed, Miss Forgie immediately called up her future husband and told him to turn his taxi around and come home.
Miss Forgie continued: “At first he panicked because he thought there must be something wrong if I was asking him to come home during his shift.
“Then I had to tell him it was because we had won the lottery.”
The driven couple celebrated their win at Maryculter House Hotel in Aberdeen, where they will be celebrating again in 2017 when they tie the knot.
And although their wedding is a year away, the future Mr and Mrs will not be blowing their cash on the day – and instead are looking to their future together.
Miss Forgie added: “I did think about spending some of my winnings on the wedding, but what I have planned is already my ideal big day.
“We will be putting money towards a deposit on a new house with a garden for our son as he grows up, and a good holiday.
“The money really will enhance our lives, it’s enough to keep you comfortable for a very long time.
“I’ll still keep playing though, in fact after I found out I’d won I logged on and put my numbers on for the Saturday draw.”
