I phoned my neighbours to tell them I’d won £100,000 on the lottery – then they told me to phone 999
A DAD-of-four was told to dial 999 by his neighbours after he called them to celebrate his £100,000 lottery win.
Dan Carter, 39, was struggling to sleep following a boozy night out when he decided to play the £2.50 Monopoly Gold Instant Win Game on his phone’s Lotto app.
After suddenly winning the £100,000 jackpot he instantly woke wife Kayleigh, 38, so they could kick-start the party.
The couple called their friends down the road and the group toasted their success in the early hours of the morning in their pyjamas.
Despite being a bar manager, Dan admitted he was “shaking” so much with excitement he couldn’t pour the drinks following their August 30 win.
He said: “I don’t play The National Lottery all that often, I have won the odd thirty quid here and there.
“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.”
Dan said he was so stunned by his big win, at first his friends thought he needed an ambulance.
He said: “I couldn’t speak properly and our neighbours didn’t understand what was going on.
“At one point they said, ‘just call an ambulance if you aren’t well?’. Kayleigh finally grabbed the phone and explained what had happened.
“We met up and sat in the garden sipping a bottle of prosecco.
“Considering I’m a barman, I still struggled to pour without spilling, I was shaking that much.”
The couple, who have three daughters and one son, are planning to splash out on a family holiday to Disneyland Paris.
They also want to use some of the cash as a deposit to get themselves on the housing ladder after years of renting.
Dan said: “We’ve never had that much money, 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.
“I haven’t played The National Lottery very much but always thought that I would win when I did play.
“Winning just feels brilliant and it means I have some financial security for my family.”
Two years ago, the £2.50 Monopoly Gold game was axed from the National Lottery’s website due to new rules designed to protect children from gambling advertising.
The restrictions – introduced by the Committee for Advertising Practice (CAP) – stop popular elements of youth culture such as sports and video games from being used in gambling ads.
How to enter £2.50 Monopoly Gold Instant Win Game
The National Lottery's app provides access to a number of instant win games.
In order to play, download the app from the Google Play Store on Android devices or the App Store on Apple phones.
After registering and proving you’re over 18, you can play the Lotto’s instant win games.
The list of games on the app is different to those available on the web, however.
Games available on the app include the £250,000 Jackpot Multiplier, £10,000 Bingo, and £1 Million Jackpot, among others.
Entry prices for the games range from just 25p up to £5.
If you wish to play Instant Win Games in the app, you may on occasion need to download a feature in order to play the game with full animation. You will only need to download the feature once for each new game you want to play.
The app is often updated in order to ensure its security, according to The National Lottery. However, this does mean that some older operating systems are no longer compatible with the latest version of The National Lottery app.
Watch bizarre vid of Putin’s ‘wardog’ Kadyrov ‘sending machine gun-mounted Cybertrucks to Ukraine’ after Elon Musk row
THIS is the bizarre moment Vladimir Putin’s warlord pal Ramzan Kadyrov appears to send machine gun mounted Cybertrucks to Ukraine.
Chechen chief Kadyrov claims Elon Musk gifted him the modified Tesla but after the billionaire CEO shut down the remarks a feud erupted between the pair.
Footage shows a pair of the huge, silver trucks supposedly racing towards the Ukrainian frontlines.
Soldiers can be seen riding in the back of the gun-toting Teslas before they park up and begin firing countless rounds from the mounted machine gun onboard.
They appear to be shooting down drones in the video.
The bizarre claim that the trucks are at the Ukrainian frontline are not backed up in the elaborate video.
The video, posted to Kadyrov’s Telegram, is followed up by a caption talking about how Russia is using Western-made equipment “against its own Western Ukronatists”.
Kadyrov, 47, made his intentions clear back in August about wanting to use the Cybertrucks in warfare.
The Chechen warlord has been a staunch supporter of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and even sent his fighters as part of the tyrant’s “special military operation”.
He said about the powerful Tesla: “It’s a truly invulnerable and fast machine. A manoeuvrable vehicle that reaches excellent speeds and overcomes obstacles.
“Based on these excellent characteristics, the Cybertruck will soon be sent to the Special Military Operation (SMO) zone, where it will be in demand in the appropriate conditions.
“I am confident this ‘beast’ will be of great benefit to our fighters.”
He even flaunted a new Tesla Cybertruck which he claims to have received from Musk last month.
Video shows him driving around in the huge motor and even operating a machine gun that he attached to the back of it.
Kadyrov said he “fell in love” with the motor and described the Tesla as a “Cyberbeast” as he thanked Musk for the present.
Musk quickly denied donating the truck to Kadyrov blasting it as “lies” via X.
The back and forth soon sparked a fierce rivalry between the two power hungry men.
Days after the initial social media spat the Chechen leader accused the US billionaire of remotely disabling the Cybertruck.
On Telegram, Kadyrov posted: “Elon Musk acted ugly.
“He gives expensive gifts from the heart, and then remotely turns them off.
“This is not manly.”
Despite the claims of the Cybertruck’s being deployed to a warzone military analysts have labelled the idea a publicity stunt as Putin continues to fight with Ukraine.
The Russian tyrant launched his invasion of Ukraine back in February 2022 with him expecting to steamroll the much smaller state in days.
But now more than 900 days later Putin’s forces remain bogged down and stuck in a fierce battle for territory.
Ukraine and Russia are locked in a brutal war of attrition – but Putin has a seemingly endless supply of manpower and weapons.
Vlad has lost more than 630,000 troops and more than 10,000 armoured vehicles – yet his war machine grinds on.
Ukraine seized a huge swath of Kursk in recent month but Russia is feared to be making gains elsewhere.
Kyiv continues to call for more Western support, with the defeat of Ukraine meaning Russia would be right on Nato’s doorstep.
And it feared Putin would seek to seize more territory from former Soviet states as he dreams of building a new Russian empire.
Who is Ramzan Kadyrov?
VLADIMIR Putin's Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov has been a staunch supporter of the war in Ukraine.
The former separatist rebel fought against the Russians in the First Chechen War, only to change sides and join Moscow in the second conflict in 1999.
Human rights groups say he personally oversees the torture of political opponents in secret dungeons and runs death squads known as “Kadyrovites”.
Ramzan Kadyrov was born in Chechnya in 1976, and like many men of his generation has lived a life largely defined by two brutal wars that ripped through the republic in the 1990s and 2000s.
In the first Chechen war of 1994 to 1996, he fought alongside his father, Akhmad Kadyrov, for the Chechen separatist cause.
But in 1999, after Mr Putin launched the second Chechen war to restore Russian control over the break away republic, the Kadyrovs changed sides.
Akhmad was subsequently installed as the pro-Russian president of the republic.
When he was assassinated in 2004, the baton of pro-Russian leadership passed to his stocky son.
The tracksuit wearing bodybuilder was not an obvious politician after being backed by Putin, he quickly become one of the most powerful men in Russia.
But as he has grown more powerful, he has become an increasingly divisive figure in Russian politics.
To supporters, he is a Russian patriot who has brought peace to a war ravaged region, presided over unprecedented post-war recovery and reconstruction.
To his enemies he is a turn-coat rebel who has turned Chechnya into his personal fiefdom where Russian law doesn’t apply, and who has used terror and murder to crush not only the separatist Islamist insurgency, but political rivals, human rights activists, and domestic dissenters.

Rangers return for Ange Postecoglou ‘in doubt’ according to bookies as odds-on sack link comes with Celtic warning
BOOKMAKERS reckon Ange Postecoglou’s hostile welcome back to Ibrox could be SILENCED.
His Tottenham side were drawn to meet Rangers in the League phase of the new-look Europa League in December.
And the former Celtic boss laughed he was “sure to get a warm reception at Ibrox and they’ll look forward to seeing me.”
But betting markets say the Aussie rival’s return could be OFF – with another shocking twist for Celtic too.
The Spurs gaffer has come under scrutiny since the start of the season, and was interrogated over a quip about delivering a trophy this term.
After losing Sunday’s north London derby to Arsenal he’d said : “I always win things in my second year. Nothing’s changed.”
And he defended himself midweek, adding: “I just stated a fact. Am I supposed to just lie or just say it never happened? Do you really think it’s me sort of boasting?
“It’s just confusing to me. I’ve just said something that’s true, and it seems like it’s upset a lot of people for some reason.”
Postecoglou landed the treble in his second season at Celtic – but bookies don’t reckon he’ll be given the campaign to get things right.
Infact they reckon he’s odds-on to be axed by Christmas and ever shorter to go before the end of the current campaign.
And that’s a worry for Celtic fans currently flying high after seeing Slovan Bratislava put to the sword so convincingly on Wednesday.
Gambling site sportscasting.com/uk reckon he’s 8/11 likely to go before Christmas – placing his Ibrox trip on December 12 in serious doubt.
They price Postecoglou at just 2/5 to be sacked before the summer.
The worry for Celtic is however, that the man tipped to replace him and make a similar move south that Postecoglou did last year – is current boss Brendan Rodgers.
The Hoops support were left reeling when he upped sticks and joined Leicester in 2019 and the bookies think he could do it again.
He’s 5/1 favourite to take over and spokesman Andy Newton said: “The new Premier League season is only a handful of games in but already there is mounting pressure on Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou after a very average start.
“Postecoglou had promised big things over his second season at the North London club, but he’s already on the back foot with just one league win so far and with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy no stranger to culling his managers.
“I’m not surprised to see Ange odds-on to be gone by Christmas.
“If so, there has been a lot of talk about Brendan Rodgers joining Spurs in the past and they could finally get their man – if, of course, the compensation to Celtic is enough to let their highest ever paid manager leave the Scottish giants.”
