Lottery luck for local family

Jun 16 2009 By Huddersfield Examiner

A WEST Yorkshire woman is part of a family which has scooped almost £25m on the Euromillions lottery.

A pensioner from Bolton has become one of Britain’s biggest ever lottery winners.

Neighbours of Brian Caswell said he and his wife Joan were whisked away by limousine on Monday morning – shortly before press and TV descended on their £150,000 three-bed house.

Mr Caswell, 74, is a retired engineer and keen gardener, while his 71-year-old wife is a former bookbinder.

The couple, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few weeks ago, have two daughters, Angela, 45, who lives in Halifax, and Helen, 47, who lives locally, and have four grandchildren.
