A retired Huddersfield couple had a festive season to remember after scooping £25,000 at a casino in the town before the turn of the New Year.
John Li, an 82-year-old former restaurant owner, won a huge jackpot of £11,308 at Grosvenor Casino in Huddersfield on New Year's Eve.
John's win came just weeks after his wife Amy, 77, scooped £14,000 at the same casino.
The pair's huge slice of luck meant they entered 2022 more than £25,000 richer.
The couple, who are regulars at the casino, decided to see in the New Year by playing on the slot machines with John sitting down to enjoy his preferred game, Fort Knox.
And to the 82-year-old's delight, the numbers aligned in front of his eyes - securing the jackpot.
Speaking after his win, John said: "Winning this jackpot on New Year’s Eve, and so shortly after my wife won her big win, makes the start of 2022 all the more exciting.
"We have been enjoying coming to the casino a lot since its new refurbishment and my wife and I would like to save the majority of the money we won to put towards a comfortable retirement for the both of us."
Gary Oldfield, general manager at Grosvenor Casino in Huddersfield, said: "I would like to pass on my congratulations to Mr and Mrs Li and wish them even more good fortune in the future."
