Jane Cunningham, 54, from North Yorkshire, scooped £7,544,200 in December 2008 – just after the credit crunch hit. The mother-of-seven said she and her husband, TV stuntman Mark, had always “muddled through” but with so many children it was a struggle. As well as moving her family from their small end-of-terrace house in Whitby to a farm near York, Mrs Cunningham tied the knot with her long-term fiancé shortly after the win, and has also been able to help out local charities and friends.
