In June 2018, Faye Stephenson and her partner Richard Davies won £1 million ($1.2m) in the EuroMillions lottery.

The couple, who hail from Talgarth, South Wales had recently adopted a stray dog called Lucy, and found walking the pooch on public paths a nightmare due to her anxiety.

The timing of their win couldn’t have been better. Just a few weeks after netting the jackpot, a half-acre field came up for sale for £20,000 ($24.5k), which the couple snapped up to give Lucy a "safe place for walkies".

They later went on to adopt a puppy called Khaleesi, and the field has allowed the pair of pooches to play together in perfectly private seclusion.
