Graham Nield had wanted to ask long-time partner Amanda Vickers to marry him, but always lost his nerve at the last moment. But after learning he had just won a £6.6 million jackpot, he finally mustered the courage to pop the question, and happily learn that Amanda had been patiently hoping to be asked for the last ten years.
