He wins 4.2 million in the Euromillions and surprises with his first purchase: "An expensive one, for 20 euros"

The life of the couple formed by Lee and Helen Kuchczynski, a British couple, changed forever a few months ago: they were awarded a prize of 3.6 million pounds (4.2 million euros) in the EuroMillions draw.

With a fortune like this, dreams can come true and most people think of cars, houses, jewelry, or trips to spend or invest the prize.

But the Kuchczynskis decided to make a particular decision about what was going to become the first thing they were going to buy with their bulging checking account.

As reported by the BBC, the Kuchczynskis bought a back scratcher, because the previous one they had broke a long time ago and they wanted to have one. "An expensive one. We enjoy it better that way." Specifically, they spent 17 pounds sterling, about 20 euros.

With this need addressed, the Kuchczynskis decided to spend a bit more: "So instead of the usual Chinese take-out in front of the TV to celebrate my birthday, we have bought ourselves a huge house with all the comforts, it even has electric doors! said Helen, the woman.

In addition, the couple has decided to continue with their jobs. Lee is a trucker and will remain so. Of course, before he will have surgery for a hernia that has prevented him from carrying out his profession normally. Helen continues to work as a financial manager for an NGO.
