A couple who won the lottery more than a year ago have elected not to splash the cash, save for buying a new caravan and sofa.
Stan and Pat Cable from Eye, Suffolk, spent £12,000 on a new mobile holiday home and invested in a new couch for their council house after winning £3.98 million last May.
However, they have been criticised for not moving out of their local authority residence in order to make room for those who need it more.
The pair have broken no rules and are entitled to stay in their home, the local council explained.
But 85-year-old Reginald Fidler wrote to his local newspaper to complain that the Cables could afford a mansion if they wanted.
“It’s a shame that someone else can’t benefit from their luck,” he said.
The couple explained that they were happy with their home and their neighbours and had no plans to move.
Meanwhile, the Sun has reported how a mum who scooped £8.37 million on the lottery took 12 family members for a holiday at a caravan park after winning.
