British Couple Wins $100k Lottery Jackpot, Plans to Foster Children

A British couple has big plans after winning a whopping £100,770 (approximately $124,000 USD) in the lottery.

Mark and Kathleen Reece, who have long hoped of becoming foster parents, are now finally in a position to make their dreams a reality.

For years, the Reece family desired to open their home to foster children. However, with three biological children under their roof, they felt constrained by space. Mark, keen on trying his luck, bought a EuroMillions ticket one day while he was out getting some milk. He asked his wife, Kathleen, to check the ticket for the winning numbers. Although initially skeptical due to Mark’s regular lottery endeavors, Kathleen examined the ticket. To their surprise, the numbers matched.

Their daughter even double-checked the numbers. “We called out the winning numbers to each other and, as the realization of what this meant hit us, we sat there in disbelief,” recalled Kathleen.

“I decided to call the number on the back of the ticket and was talking to the lady from The National Lottery when Mark came home with the milk. I told him to shush, as I was on the phone to The National Lottery. His jaw dropped. He looked at me in disbelief, so I put the phone on speaker, and the lady confirmed we’d won £100,770,” Kathleen shared.

Mark and Kathleen, both in their 40s, are now planning to utilize their winnings to help others.

They plan to convert their garage into an additional bedroom to accommodate future foster children.

“I’ve always wanted to foster children,” Kathleen added. “Mark and I discussed it many years ago and then we had our own.”

She continued, “My three kids will be leaving home soon, and I have too much love to give. I’ve always wanted to foster; however, having enough space has always been an issue. Thanks to the win, it’ll no longer be a problem. I’m so happy we can finally fulfill our dream.”

With this unexpected gift, the Reece family is now set to provide a nurturing and loving environment for children who need it the most.

“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me.” Matthew 18:5

Pro-abortion advocates convince people that children are better off dead than in foster care or imperfect situations. The wonderful truth is that we don’t have to choose to kill anyone: there is room. Millions of parents are waiting and eager to adopt, and stories like the Reece family’s prove every child is a wanted child.
