A LICHFIELD bar manager is raising a glass after winning £100,000.

Dan Cater won the money on the Monopoly Gold instant win online game with The National Lottery

The 39-year-old says he is now planning a family holiday with his winnings, as well as giving himself a healthy deposit to buy a house.

Dan said:

> “I don’t play The National Lottery all that often – I have won the odd £30 here and there.  
>  
> “But I decided to put £5 on my account and play EuroMillions, and when I didn’t win anything there I thought I’d try one of the instant win games with the remaining £2.50.  
>  
> “I played Monopoly Gold and won £5 and just left it there. Over the next couple of days I had a go here and there. I had been around my neighbours with the family, and after having a few drinks and playing some games, my wife and the kids went back home.  
>  
> “I couldn’t sleep so had another go on my phone while sitting in bed and then noticed the message on the screen. I kept looking and looking and then I started screaming ‘I have won!’.  
>  
> “My wife Kayleigh then started screaming too – we just couldn’t believe it.”

The timing of the win couldn’t have been better for the couple on 30th August, with Dan – who works at The Acorn – off work to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary with their four children.

They are now planning to head off to Disneyland Paris for a family break before putting down a deposit on a new house after years of renting.

Dan said:

> “We’ve never had that much money and we’ve been pretty much going week-by-week, but this is a game-changer.  
>  
> “To be able to put a deposit down on a house is just amazing.  
>  
> “Winning just feels brilliant and it means I have some financial security for my family.”
