Ananova:

A family who won a £7m lottery jackpot have splashed out - on three caravans at a windswept South Wales seaside resort.

Former train driver Carl Prance, 50, told the Daily Mail: "I could have bought a holiday home anywhere in the world - but we love our caravans more.

"I've been coming here since I was a little boy and always dreamed of having my own luxury caravan here. I feel so lucky."

The family have set up their own "Millionaires Row" at the giant Trecco Bay caravan park in Porthcawl, South Wales.

Their £64,000 luxury static caravans come complete with plasma screen TV in every room, dishwasher, washing machine and cocktail bar.

Father-of-three Carl's mother-in-law Lilian Granger, 71, has bought the caravan next door and his three sisters and brother are chipping in to buy one alongside.

Father-of-three Carl said: "It's lovely here - why would we want to go anywhere else.

"When we won the lottery the whole family decided to move to Porthcawl. It's our favourite place on the planet."

Carl and the other five members of the family syndicate were on holiday at the caravan park last October when they won a share of an £88m Euromillions jackpot.

They celebrated by taking a family holiday in Benidorm - but when they returned Carl and his clan headed straight to Porthcawl where they've been ever since.
