OLIVIA LOVE PLANS TO START A NEW CAREER AFTER WINNING £10,000 PER MONTH FOR A YEAR ON THE SET FOR LIFE GAME 10:25, 30 May 2025Updated 10:29, 30 May 2025 A Hamilton couple are busy ticking


off their ultimate shopping list and following their dreams after a “life-changing” National Lottery win. Olivia Love, 36, scooped £10,000 every month for a year on the Set For Life game


after matching five numbers – and immediately resigned from her part-time supermarket job, planning now to build her dream career in wedding content creation. The mum-of-four had wanted to


pursue the new direction since her own wedding last year and now plans to explore how to make her dream a reality – as well as enjoying an immediate shopping spree which she described as “a


real Pretty Woman moment!” DOWNLOAD THE LANARKSHIRE LIVE APP TODAY The Lanarkshire Live app is available to download now. Get all the news from your area – as well as features,

draw date was 06. Lucky winner Olivia said: “We got married with a very low-key wedding last year so we had a social media content creator instead of a photographer or videographer. I


absolutely loved the results and have been secretly wanting to try it myself ever since. “Winning Set For Life has meant I could quit my job and have the luxury of exploring how I make this


all a reality, so I cannot wait to start building what could be my dream career!” READ MORE: Hamilton couple renew vows on 56th wedding anniversaryREAD MORE: Sheriff slams Lanarkshire's

luxuries while they decide how to enjoy their win for the next 12 months. Olivia added: “We rarely buy anything for ourselves as every penny we have usually goes on the kids, so it felt very


strange to walk into the shops and not worry about the price tags or whether we could afford it. It was a real Pretty Woman moment, strolling down the high street laden with shopping bags!


“A couple of weeks earlier, we had been looking into getting a new car for Kevin as his was really on its last legs. We’ve now been able to choose a brand-new car, still nothing super-fancy


but still feels special! “The kids have each chosen one treat each that they’d like, a mixture of an electric guitar, a bicycle and toys, so we’re looking forward to taking them shopping,


too.” She added that the winning feeling is “very bizarre” and said: “Just being able to buy things for myself and my husband and not having to look at price tags or concentrating on what it


costs has been so lovely.” Olivia added of her dream new career: “I’d really like to be around joy and happiness and there’s no better time to do it than now having an incme guaranteed for


the next year – I don’t have to worry about childcare, I don’t have to juggle the kids any more, I can just really focus on it and pursue that dream.” READ MORE: Lifeline Scots multibank
