EVERYTHING is meant to change when you win the Lottery, but that has not been the case for former Derby Mayoress Ann Webster.
This is partly out of choice, such as the 59-year-old's decision to carry on working, but other aspects are not.
One thing that Mrs Webster's fortune has not been able to change is poor disabled access.
When she won £1,023,801 in 2006, the married mum-of-two – who has spina bifida and has been a wheelchair user since 1979 – hoped her wealth would put an end to her struggle to get around.
But though the Lottery cash has enabled her to make modifications to her home in Barrow upon Trent, it has not led to improvements elsewhere in the world.
Indeed, when asked what her worst purchase had been during the eight years since her Lottery win, Mrs Webster's response was immediate.
"Those Virgin flight tickets!" she said, referring to when she upgraded to first class on a plane to Miami.
"It was so difficult for anyone with a wheelchair to get in or out. It was a complete waste of money.
"We received complimentary tickets as an apology but we've never flown with them since."
Mrs Webster revealed the impact the seven-figure win had on her family's life as the National Lottery celebrated its 20th birthday.
Bizarrely, she said the best decision she and her husband, Don, had made since becoming rich was opting to stay in work.
She said: "We know of other couples who are actually worse off since winning the Lottery.
"This is because they quit their jobs and invested their winnings, meaning their money is tied up and they've no salary.
"We've invested some of our money but have also kept our jobs, although we've both gone down to four days a week."
Ann works for Derby City Council and Don, 61, is employed by Lloyd's Register Rail, in Belper.
Ann said: "We've both got good jobs and didn't see a need to leave them. We have Fridays off and that works well for us."
The couple moved to Barrow upon Trent from Mickleover after their dream win.
As well as buying their new house, they have bought new cars and travel in business class to places like Florida. Ann said the best purchase she had made was having work done to her teeth.
"I had a smile makeover," she said. "When I was at school, some kids accidentally kicked a football at me. It knocked me to the floor and I broke my front teeth.
"I paid £6,000 to have my teeth done. It's absolutely wonderful."
Last night, Ann and Don travelled to the London Film Museum in Covent Garden, where jackpot winners were invited to help celebrate 20 years of the National Lottery.
Some critics say the Lottery is a "poor man's tax" – but Ann argues it has done plenty of good. She said: "The Lottery gives £33 million a week to good causes. Because of the Government cuts, the Lottery is a lifeline to many organisations.
"We still play the Lottery every week as we want to support it. Buying a ticket is win-win. If you don't win, at least good causes are benefiting."
The National Lottery has invested more than £312 million in Derbyshire projects in the 20 years since the first draw on November 19, 1994.
In that time, 6,200 grants have been awarded to county projects, including £16 million in 2013.
The largest grant over the past 20 years was £4.38m, which went towards the restoration of the Roundhouse at Derby College.
The smallest was £60, to Sangam Women's Group, in 2006, for health and leisure activities.
Other large-scale Lottery-funded projects in Derbyshire include Eureka Park, in Swadlincote, and the Cromford Mills Creative Cluster and World Heritage Site Gateway.
Jackie O'Sullivan, from the National Lottery, said the funding had "transformed life in Derbyshire".
She added: "National Lottery funding has helped create iconic cultural landmarks, empower communities and develop world-class sporting talent.
"It has also improved people's health, preserved our rich heritage and created a better future for all.
"In addition to all the projects that have benefited, thousands of individuals across the UK have won life-changing prizes with 3,600 millionaires created to date.
"National Lottery players can be proud of the positive changes they have helped bring about."
