Gwenan and Rheinallt Williams scooped �5.5m

A mother-of-five from the Conwy Valley has spoken of her delight after scooping �5.5m on the Lotto.

However, Gwenan Williams and husband Rheinallt from Llanrwst have vowed they will not give up work on their cattle and sheep farm.

The 40-year-old, who bought the winning ticket on Easter Saturday but did not check it for two weeks, said some of the money has already been accounted for.

Pointing at her husband she said: "I've paid off his debts, my daughter wants a Barbie doll and I would like to buy my father an automatic car because he has really bad arthritis."

Mrs Williams did not realise she had won the money until she asked for her ticket to be checked in her local shop.

She kept her multi-million pound ticket for a fortnight before a trip to her local Spar shop in Llanrwst revealed that she was a winner.

She claimed the massive prize thanks to numbers chosen on a lucky dip.

"We were in the Spar and the girls were trying to choose a video so I decided to check my ticket," Mrs Williams said.

"The young lad who was serving me was stuttering and said I had six numbers.

"The phone hasn't stopped ringing and people have been wonderful.

"We live in such a close community that if someone has good luck, the whole valley is involved."

The couple celebrated their win with Ian Morris from Spar store

In recent years, with farm incomes dropping the Williams set up a wind farm along with two partners to raise extra money.

They are currently trying to expand it from three to 14 turbines.

Speaking at a presentation organised by the lottery organisers Camelot at Ruthin Castle, Rheinallt Williams said the family will continue to farm.

"It's been so much of our lives that I'll probably carry on," he said.

The couple - who have children aged six, eight, 11, 13 and 15 - said life will continue as normal for now.

"The kids have got to go to school, the farm needs to be run - but a holiday would be nice," Mrs Williams said.

"Somewhere like France or Greece - nowhere too exotic."

North Wales has recently become a lucky area to buy lottery tickets.

Last week, a building worker from Anglesey won over �1m.

Father-of-three Raymond Williams, 62, who lives in Menai Bridge, has worked as a scaffolder for years but is planning early retirement after his win of more than �1.1m
