Lotto millionaire plans normal Christmas

With the current financial crisis hitting everyone hard, winning the lottery would seem like the perfect way to have a spectacular Christmas this year. However, one new Lotto millionaire has vowed that her lottery win won’t make her go spend crazy this year.

New millionaire Tracy Foster, who won £2.5 million on the National Lottery in July this year, has pledged that her family will enjoy a modest Christmas. She has however made a donation to sick children, something she wouldn’t have been able to do had she not won the Lotto.

Forty-year-old Tracy has two sons, twenty-year-old Ross and sixteen-year-old Ryan, and she says they won’t be getting extra expensive presents this Christmas.

Tracy gave generously to the Little Havens children’s hospice in her area when she bought some therapeutic light projectors which are used to project soothing images onto the walls.

She has spent some of her money though, on a holiday to Cyprus and a new car, an Audi A3. She has also invested some money in a four bedroom house.

According to Tracy:

I won’t be spoiling my sons this Christmas. They know the value of money and they need to maintain that belief.

I still look at things and say, ‘I’m not paying for that. That’s a ridiculous amount of money’.
