Luke Pittard, a native of Wales, secured a £1.3 million jackpot ($1.9 million) in 2006. However, he chose to utilize most of it on a vacation to the Canary Islands, a wedding, and a house.

Within a year and a half, Pittard found himself back at his job at McDonald's.

In 2008, he told the Telegraph, "Some might consider my decisions unconventional, but I believe there's more to life than wealth.

I genuinely enjoyed my work at McDonald's before my windfall, and I'm finding fulfillment in returning to it."
