Family who scooped £6.9m lottery splash out... on three caravans at a seaside resort

And the millionaire Prance family admit they prefer to risk our weather on a traditional British holiday rather than the tropical sunshine of the Bahamas.

Former train driver Carl Prance, 50, said: "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 set up their own "Millionaires Row" at the giant Trecco Bay caravan park in Porthcawl, South Wales.

But they are no leaky old caravans - they cost £64,000 for a luxury static caravan complete with plasma screen TV in every room, dishwasher, washing machine and cocktail bar.

It's a family affair for father-of-three Carl - his 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 Trecco Bay caravan park in Porthcawl last October when they won a share of the previous highest Euromillions jackpot of £88m.

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.

He said: "It's perfect - we get up in the morning and maybe take a relaxing drive to a nearby designer outlet to do a bit of shopping.

"Then in the afternoon we walk along the beach - rain or shine it doesn't bother us.

"The in the evening we might head off to play bingo - the wife loves a game although it's more for fun these days."

Carl and his wife Gillian, 50, gave their three-bedroomed house in Splott, Cardiff, away to their daughter Sarah, 19, and paid off the mortgages of their two sons Lee, 30, and Ian, 27.

The caravan site closes down for two months each year when Carl and his wife simply move back in with their daughter.

Carl, his brother Steven Prance, 47, sisters Jacquie Wood, 53, Christine Mills, 52, and Ceri Howe, 43, and Carl's mother-in-law Lilian scooped a total of pounds 6,989,367.40 on the EuroMillions Lottery.

But they are all buying tickets for tomorrow's draw which has a new record jackpot of £95m.

Carl said: "It's more for fun really - they say lightning doesn't strike twice but you never know."

Carl's mother-in law Lilian first visited the 20-acre caravan park overlooking the Bristol Channel back in the 1930s.

She said: "It's a great family resort - there's a pool, bingo and lots to do for everyone.

"If we feel like topping up our tans we can always fly off to Spain for a week - but I'd rather be here."

Locals have dubbed the spot Lotto Bay since other winners started snapping up £60,000 static caravans there.

Caravanner No1 is single mum Stephanie Powell, 32, who scooped £7.million on the Lottery in 1999.

She and her 10-year-old daughter Jessica spend weekends at the site even though they have a £600,000 home less than a mile away.

Stephanie, originally from Ebbw Vale in the Welsh Valleys, was a £150-a-week bingo caller and living in a council house at time of her bonanza.

One of her site neighbours is Caravanner No2, Jenny Southall, 43, who won £8.3million last his year.

Pals say Jenny, of Newport, Gwent, adores the resort and stays as often as possible.

The mum-of-two quit her £5.85-an-hour job as a cinema supervisor when she hit the Lotto jackpot.

She vowed to "live like a movie star" - but took her teenage sons Jamie and Kyle to stay at Trecco Bay rather than Hollywood.

A spokesman for the site - where caravans can be hired from £149-a-week - said: "We call it millionaire's row - everyone staying here feels like they've won the lottery."
