Plumber who won £14million lottery jackpot goes back to servicing toilets days later

A plumber who won the £14million Lottery jackpot is back at work fixing toilets just two days later.

52 year old John Doherty, said he doesn't want to let down his loyal customers and would be bored sat at home.


The dad-of-two scooped £14,671,343 with wife Alison, 50, and the beaming couple were unveiled on Tuesday as the latest Lotto jackpot winners.

But shortly after 9am today, John was back in his black overalls and jumping into his black Mercedes van to service a boiler he'd fitted.

John, of Elderslie, Renfrewshire, said: "I really enjoy my work - I've been doing it a long time.

"I want to stay grounded. "I've got a lot of loyal customers and I don't want to let them down. "I'm doing stuff that was arranged before all this happened."

"My customers are older people and they've treated me just the same after the win which is what I want. "I'm just back off two holidays so I definitely don't think I should be sitting on a beach.

"I will treat myself - but once it's all settled down a bit

"I'll probably slow down a wee bit."
