Since moving in, the couple has lived the ultimate luxury lifestyle, though they quickly realised the home’s celebrity status preceded them.
Hours after signing the paperwork, Bill was congratulated by a complete stranger at the local Walkers Arms Hotel.
“I walked in and they already knew who I was,” he laughed.
“In this neighbourhood, everyone knows it as ‘The Lottery Home.’”
The couple have now made the bittersweet decision to list the property for sale and find something more suited to their lifestyle.
“It’s simply too much house for just the two of us,” Bill said.
“We’ve loved every minute here, but we’re looking to downsize and move closer to the coast.”
Bill said a family would best suit the property as there was plenty of room for entertaining.
