   Matt Myles, 27, from Hereford, was working gruelling night shifts in a factory when a Euromillions ticket bought on a whim 2 netted him a surprise ?1million windfall.


  27岁的马特.迈尔斯来自赫里福郡,一次心血来潮买的欧洲百万乐透给他带来了一百万英镑的意外之财,那时候他还在一家工厂里上着工作繁重的夜班。



  And he wasted no time in putting his newfound wealth to good use - jetting off to Indonesia before the money had even hit his account.
  他立刻有效的利用新财富——在钱打入账户之前就乘飞机去了印度尼西亚。
  Mr Myles took off on his round-the-world tour in April, taking his brother Pete, 26, along for the ride and picking up his tab.
  迈尔斯先生四月的时候带着26岁的弟弟佩特开始了环球旅行,且替他承担旅行费用。
  So far his lavish 3 lifestyle has taken him to Hong Kong, Bali and Thailand. He then set off for Brazil, where England's disappointing World Cup performance failed to dampen the experience.
  到目前为止,在挥霍的生活方式下,他去了香港,巴厘岛和泰国。然后他启程去了巴西,在这里,英格兰队令人失望的世界杯表现并没有影响他旅行的兴致。
  Still on his hit list are visiting Machu Picchu in Peru, diving at Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, bungee jumping into the Grand Canyon 4 in Arizona, driving across Route 66 in a Ford 1 Mustang.
  他的旅行清单上还包括游览秘鲁的马丘比丘,在澳洲的大堡礁中潜水,在亚利桑那州的大峡谷中蹦极,开着福特野马穿过66号公路。
  He then hopes to canoe the Amazon, walking the Great Wall of China and seeing the pyramids in Egypt, enjoy a fortnight of partying with his friends in Ibiza and volunteer with Unicef in Africa for three months.
  然后他希望在亚马逊河中划独木舟,攀登中国长城,到埃及看金字塔,和朋友们在伊比沙岛进行两周的狂欢,在非洲作三个月的联合国儿童基金会志愿者。
  Mr Myles, who used to serve in the Army, told the Sunday People: 'From travelling the world to meeting celebrities 5 I couldn’t have made this up in my wildest dreams - They say money can’t buy happiness but I have never been happier.'
  曾经参过军的迈尔斯先生对周日人民报说:我环游世界见了那些梦里都不觉得我能见到的名人,他们说金钱买不到幸福,但是我从来没像现在这么幸福。
  Before the shock win, he said: 'I was working night shifts and was worried I’d have to move back home to save some money. While the next 12 months will be incredible, I won’t change. I’ll live as I always have – go big or go home!'
  在中奖之前,他说:我上夜班,还担心得搬回老家攒钱。但接下来会是不可思议的12个月,我不会改变。我会一如既往-要么做大要么回家。
  However, despite the apparent gusto with which he is spending his winnings, Mr Myles says he has set himself a limit of ?100,000.
  尽管他把奖金花到了主要的爱好上,但迈尔斯先生给自己设定了10万英镑的限额。
  Upon winning, he invested half of the cash and is ploughing much of the remainder into establishing a property business with friends, and hopes to train as an airline pilot.
