A plasterer and keen angler from Trowbridge has just had his life transformed forever after scooping a National Lottery prize that will see him collect £10,000 every month for the next 30 years!
51-year-old John Stembridge was the lucky winner of the life-changing sum, after he picked up a National Lottery Set For Life Lucky Dip ticket on his way home from a wildlife photography trip, one of his other passions.
John, who has been a plasterer for more than 20 years, says he now cannot wait to pursue his lifelong dreams of photography and fishing.

In addition to being a professional photographer, John wants to complete what is every angler's dream, to open his own luxury fishery with his house lakeside.
First, however, he plans to buy a luxury caravan and embark on an epic fishing adventure across Europe, capturing pictures of the huge fish he catches along the way.
"It’s time to give up the trowels!," John said.
"There will be no more days of coming home covered in plaster dust and worrying about money and my family. All of our lives are now changed forever.

"It makes me so happy that I can now help and support my family and those closest to me and I literally have no more worries in that respect. To be in the position where I get £10K every month, tax free, is just phenomenal – this National Lottery win has changed everything for me and those closest to me and I still just cannot believe it!”
Thanks to National Lottery players, £30M is raised every week for Good Causes across the UK. This funds everything from hundreds of small projects in local communities, to supporting the growth of women’s and girl’s football right across the four nations.
‘Set For Life’ is an exciting draw-based annuity game from The National Lottery that offers a top prize of £10K a month for 30 years when the five main numbers and the Life Ball are matched. Players can also win £10K a month for a whole year by matching the five main numbers.
