Stoke lottery winner wins pool bronze medal
A man who bought a pool table after winning 拢2.4m on the National Lottery has now won a bronze medal for England in a tournament in Malta.
Former tiler Neil Jones, 59, from Stoke-on-Trent, won the money with his partner just before Christmas in 2010.
He retired and bought a professional-grade pool table so he could practise.
He played at the European Blackball Championships earlier this month after being picked to captain the England B1 team in an over-50s Masters category.
Speaking to the 成人快手 ahead of the tournament, he said: "There was an open trial for anyone who wants to trial for England, and I got in. That's when it became real.
