Handyman Wins Set For Life Jackpot Thanks to a 'Lucky Parking Spot'
Imagine going about your day as usual, running errands, and suddenly stumbling upon a small moment of luck that changes your life forever. Well, that’s exactly what happened to Adrian Brennan, a 69-year-old handyman from the Welsh Valleys. In what can only be described as fate, Adrian secured a Set For Life Lotto jackpot—all because he found a rare parking spot outside his local shop.
Adrian, who usually buys lottery tickets on impulse, hadn’t purchased one from his local Co-Op in Ferndale for quite some time. Why? Because parking there was almost impossible. But on that fateful day, as he drove past, he spotted an empty space right in front of the shop. Seeing the opportunity, he pulled in, walked inside, and bought a Set For Life Lucky Dip ticket—without thinking much of it. Little did he know, that simple decision would soon change everything.

It wasn’t until later that night, around 10 p.m., that he decided to check his numbers. Expecting nothing more than a small win, he was stunned when he matched all five main numbers. In disbelief, he called his daughter, Stacey, asking her to double-check. When she confirmed the win, she was just as shocked. "You're joking!" she said, before realizing that her dad had actually won £10,000 every month for an entire year .
How did Adrian celebrate? In the most relaxed way possible. He had a can of lager, signed the back of his ticket, placed it safely on the sideboard, and went to bed. By the next morning, he called The National Lottery to claim his winnings, then carried on with his day—like any other handyman would.
Now, with his life-changing prize secured, Adrian is looking forward to treating his family. As a widower, he wants to spoil his children and grandchildren, granting their wishes—including an electric bike, a set of darts, and even help with car insurance for one of his grandsons. But beyond family, he also plans to indulge in his greatest passion: woodworking. Having spent nearly 20 years as a carpenter, Adrian loves crafting furniture and ornaments in his shed. And now, thanks to his winnings, he can spend more time doing what he loves.
Reflecting on his win, Adrian says he feels lucky not just because of the money, but because he gets to stay in the place he loves—the beautiful Welsh Valleys. He has no plans to fully retire just yet, but he’s looking forward to a little extra comfort and fun along the way.
The Set For Life Lottery offers players the chance to win incredible long-term prizes, with the top reward granting £10,000 every month for 30 years . Adrian may have only won it for a year, but that single lucky parking spot has already made all the difference. Who knows? Maybe the next big winner will be someone making a last-minute stop—just like him.
