Builder Who Scooped £1m on Scratchcard Left Fight for Life After 'Months of Partying' - Liverpool Echo
Adam Lopez spent his £1 million lottery winnings partying for three months before a pulmonary embolism hospitalized him, prompting a six- to nine-month recovery, he said.
- On September 10, Adam Lopez, 39, from Mattishall, near Norwich, was rushed by ambulance to Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital with a bilateral pulmonary embolism after months of nonstop partying.
- After the win months ago, Adam Lopez quit his job and admitted losing the structure of his life, spending roughly three months partying while deciding what to do with the prize.
- He spent some of the windfall on luxury gifts including vehicles and a Barbados trip after buying five �5 scratch‑off tickets from a corner shop in Hellesdon.
- The hospital stint became a wake‑up call and Adam Lopez will focus on recovery over the next six to nine months, praising hospital staff for saving his life after eight and a half days in Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital.
- Medical findings show a clot moved from his leg to his lungs, causing the pulmonary embolism, and health organisations say clots can follow prolonged immobility, which Lopez linked to his lifestyle.
