<p>A lucky 25-year-old road-worker in the UK who became a millionaire after winning 1 million pound on a 5-pound lottery refused to give up his job and returned to work the next day.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Carl Crook, a resident of Manchester city, broke down in tears of joy and excitement after winning the jackpot on Thursday when he went inside a local shop to buy a drink and a scratch card.<br /><br />The father-of-two said he will not "blow" the money and carry on doing his 12 hours shift, but will give up the overtime.<br /><br />"I just kept thinking to myself 'why am I here?' But I do enjoy my job, the company I work for and the people I work with. I've already spoken to my boss about having next week off so I can let things settle down. I will be staying on at work but without overtime," Crook said.<br /><br />"The 1 million pound might go but we want to at least spend it on making memories instead of spending it on rubbish. We are not going to blow it," Crook said.<br /><br />The civil engineering worker said he wanted to spend the money on an Audi RS7, a new home and a Safari in Africa for his honeymoon with fiancee Samantha.<br /><br />"We are going to go on holiday this summer and to Lapland at Christmas. I would love to take the family to Florida and we might do that next year," Crook was quoted as saying by the 'Manchester Evening News'.<br /><br />"I'm looking at getting a really nice car. I've always wanted an Audi RS7... Myself and Samantha got engaged last year and we want to get married this year and then go on a Safari tour in Africa for our honeymoon," he said.<br /><br />Crook, who was seen celebrating wildly after winning the money, said he won the jackpot despite only gambling "once in a blue moon".<br /><br />"It's only once in a blue moon that I buy a scratch card but I had a feeling that day and decided to have one more go" Crook said.<br /><br />"I asked the shopkeeper for a 10 pound scratch card but he said he didn't have any and only had the 5 pound ones. I was scratching the numbers off and knew I had at least won my money back or got a tenner," he said.</p>
