He and his wife Eleanor said they planned to buy a family villa in Spain. | |
'Stress-free life' | |
The pair, who live in Buxton, Derbyshire, told reporters they would use the winnings to provide security for their sons and nine grandchildren. | |
Mrs Bradbury said: "The villa will be a place where our family can always go to for holidays. | |
"It is wonderful to think that none of our children will have a mortgage or any stress for the rest of their lives. | |
"This win provides our family with security and this is what pleases Terry and myself more than anything." | |
The couple, who used to run a pub in Tideswell, Derbyshire, said they bought their lucky dip ticket from a WH Smith in Buxton. | |
Mr Bradbury told reporters the most he earned during his professional football career was £25 each week. |
