Pamela added, “Dreams do come true.”

The retired couple thought their windfall would make a huge difference to their lives. Glenn said, "It means a lot because we're both retired. We've only got our state pensions and our savings have started to go down.

“This money is a big help as we can relax a bit in our retirement now."
