...so was there ghostly hand in £3m lotto win?

A COUPLE who won £3.6million on the National Lottery have used it to become professional ghost-hunters.

Laura Hoyle and Kirk Stevens, 38, thought they had only scooped £5 on the Set for Life draw in March 2021 and carried on playing for two weeks before being alerted to their windfall.

Now Miss Hoyle, 40, from Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, has quit her job to work as a paranormal investigator alongside Mr Stevens, a manufacturing engineer.

She said: ‘Kirk and I are participating in lots more paranormal activities and I’m editing the videos we take, which I love doing.

‘Without the win we wouldn’t have been able to tick off a huge bucket list item – visit the National Justice Museum in Nottingham out of hours and spend time there investigating.’

Carpenter Mr Stevens said: ‘I want to make paranormal investigation products using my woodwork and electronic skills.’
