Lottery winner who scooped £76million marries his girlfriend — at the local pub
A LOTTERY winner who scooped a £76million jackpot has married his girlfriend — in the local pub.
Down-to-earth builder Andy Clark, 51, and Trisha Fairhurst, 52, remained coy about any wedding plans when they were unveiled as winners of the jackpot last December.
But just months into their new millionaires’ lifestyle, Trisha quit her hospital kitchen job and they started making plans.
Despite their huge fortune, the couple from Boston, Lincs, opted for popular local wedding venue The Poachers. They invited family and friends for a ceremony and pub-grub reception.
Since the EuroMillions win, the pair have bought a new house and Andy has spent up to £700,000 on supercars including a Porsche, a McLaren and a Mercedes. Locals have whinged he was driving them mad by taking the noisy fleet along the only dual carriageway near his home.
Meanwhile Trisha has kept her manual £20,000 Nissan Quashqai.
A source said: “Andy and Trisha are determined to keep their feet on the ground — it’s only the cars where Andy has really spent money.
“They just wanted a close-knit ceremony with all their family and friends and The Poachers was easy for everyone to get to.

“It might not be fancy but they still had a terrific time.”
When he claimed the jackpot six weeks after the draw, Andy revealed he had worked on freezing winter rooftops unaware he had the life-changing ticket tucked in the sun-visor of his van.
On Friday night Camelot said that the couple were declining to comment.
