英國工人中獎成千萬富翁 奢華旅遊不忘做義工

Matt Myles, 27, from Hereford, was working gruelling night shifts in a factory when a Euromillions ticket bought on a whim netted him a surprise £1million windfall.

27歲的馬特.邁爾斯來自赫裏福郡,一次心血來潮買的歐洲百萬樂透給他帶來了一百萬英鎊的意外之財,那時候他還在一家工廠裏上着工作繁重的夜班。

And he wasted no time in putting his newfound wealth to good use - jetting off to Indonesia before the money had even hit his account.

他立刻有效的利用新財富——在錢打入賬戶之前就乘飛機去了印度尼西亞。

Mr Myles took off on his round-the-world tour in April, taking his brother Pete, 26, along for the ride and picking up his tab.

邁爾斯先生四月的時候帶着26歲的弟弟佩特開始了環球旅行,且替他承擔旅行費用。

So far his lavish lifestyle has taken him to Hong Kong, Bali and Thailand. He then set off for Brazil, where England's disappointing World Cup performance failed to dampen the experience.

到目前爲止,在揮霍的生活方式下,他去了香港,巴厘島和泰國。然後他啓程去了巴西,在這裏,英格蘭隊令人失望的世界盃表現並沒有影響他旅行的興致。

Still on his hit list are visiting Machu Picchu in Peru, diving at Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, bungee jumping into the Grand Canyon in Arizona, driving across Route 66 in a Ford Mustang.

他的旅行清單上還包括遊覽祕魯的馬丘比丘,在澳洲的大堡礁中潛水,在亞利桑那州的大峽谷中蹦極,開着福特野馬穿過66號公路。

He then hopes to canoe the Amazon, walking the Great Wall of China and seeing the pyramids in Egypt, enjoy a fortnight of partying with his friends in Ibiza and volunteer with Unicef in Africa for three months.

然後他希望在亞馬遜河中劃獨木舟,攀登中國長城,到埃及看金字塔,和朋友們在伊比沙島進行兩週的狂歡,在非洲作三個月的聯合國兒童基金會志願者

Mr Myles, who used to serve in the Army, told the Sunday People: 'From travelling the world to meeting celebrities I couldn’t have made this up in my wildest dreams - They say money can’t buy happiness but I have never been happier.'

曾經參過軍的邁爾斯先生對週日人民報說:我環遊世界見了那些夢裏都不覺得我能見到的名人,他們說金錢買不到幸福,但是我從來沒像現在這麼幸福。

Before the shock win, he said: 'I was working night shifts and was worried I’d have to move back home to save some money. While the next 12 months will be incredible, I won’t change. I’ll live as I always have – go big or go home!'

在中獎之前,他說:我上夜班,還擔心得搬回老家攢錢。但接下來會是不可思議的12個月,我不會改變。我會一如既往-要麼做大要麼回家。

However, despite the apparent gusto with which he is spending his winnings, Mr Myles says he has set himself a limit of £100,000.

儘管他把獎金花到了主要的愛好上,但邁爾斯先生給自己設定了10萬英鎊的限額。

Upon winning, he invested half of the cash and is ploughing much of the remainder into establishing a property business with friends, and hopes to train as an airline pilot.

贏得大獎後,他把一半的現金和剩下大部分錢投資到和朋友建立的房地產生意上,而且希望能培訓成爲一名航空公司飛行員。
