Luke Pittard, originally from Wales, secured a £1.3 million jackpot ($1.9 million) in 2006. However, he depleted most of his winnings on a vacation to the Canary Islands, a wedding, and a house. Approximately eighteen months later, Pittard found himself back at his job at McDonald's. In 2008, he expressed to the Telegraph, "Although some may view my actions as unconventional, I believe there are more valuable aspects to life than wealth. I genuinely enjoyed my work at McDonald's before my windfall, and I am finding fulfillment in returning to it once again."
