GĐXH - Although he became a millionaire overnight, the man still wears the same watch and shirt from 30 years ago, and his assets have tripled from the time he won the lottery.

The man bought many valuable assets after winning the lottery.

In 1996, Northern Ireland bus driver Peter Lavery won £10 million in the lottery and changed his life overnight. Peter Lavery thought the call from a friend telling him he had won was a joke, but the news on local television the next day left him speechless.

Peter Lavery was then 34 years old, single and earning around £50 a day, instantly becoming one of the richest men in Northern Ireland. Peter Lavery took his family on holidays, partied for days, and bought houses for his siblings.

The man shared that he was very happy and lucky to beat more than 33.5 million players to win the jackpot. "For many people, money doesn't make them happy, but it makes life a lot easier. It was an interesting and worthwhile experience, I have no regrets," said the bus driver.

Peter Lavery bought a mansion, two Jaguars and a collection of 300 Swarovski crystals. In the first half year, he spent half a million pounds. It was only when he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes that Peter Lavery had a wake-up call, gave up his partying lifestyle and started thinking about what to do with the money.

Awakening after a close friend's words

Thanks to timely awakening, the man changed his lifestyle and increased his huge fortune.

When Peter Lavery was struggling to find a purpose in life after quitting his job, a friend advised him to "get busy." That's because countless people who got rich quickly became poor quickly after winning the lottery because they just idled and spent the money instead of working. Trying to stay calm when owning a large sum of money is not easy. Peter Lavery chose to put the winnings in the bank and spend time calculating his next steps.

"Lottery winners need a good financial advisor and lawyer because there are so many people trying to approach you. 20 investors, real estate brokers, pension fund managers will tell you 20 different things. Then you have to decide who you trust," Lavery said.

He started investing in a local manufacturing plant and made a fortune with his business acumen. Recently, the public was surprised to learn that the former driver now owns 33 rental properties across Northern Ireland, with several new factory locations in the pipeline. Some local newspapers reported that Peter Lavery now owns a fortune three times the £10 million he received 30 years ago.

"Successful investing is like winning the lottery all over again," he said. Despite his wealth, Peter Lavery insists "money doesn't change you." Lavery is happy eating £5 curry and fried rice at the local Chinese restaurant. He lives in a 600-square-metre mansion but feels it's too big. Lavery's wardrobe is the same as it was years ago, with worn jeans.

Peter Lavery admitted that he owns a Rolex watch, but since it broke, he has not repaired it or worn it. "I'm just a normal guy, doing normal things. Ten years ago I fell off the roof because I was cleaning it myself. Why should I pay someone to do it when I can do it myself?", Lavery said.

This man is also active in charity work by establishing a fund named after his mother, helping people in difficult circumstances and creating more jobs for local people.
