A special family holiday with my JACKPOT WIN!

Clare Lovell, 38, from Bromley, hit the jackpot and took her family to Hastings

Whenever I tell people I have nine children, they usually gasp in shock, and ask me how I ever manage to get a minute to myself.

While my partner, Jamie, heads off to his lorry-driving job, I’m in charge of keeping our tribe of kids – six boys and three girls – cleaned and entertained. But we wouldn’t have it any other way and, for me especially, having such a huge brood seems normal, being the second-eldest of six children.
