Exploring extraordinary possibilities after life's unexpected turns
Discover Our JourneyAn ordinary couple navigating extraordinary circumstances with grace and purpose
Joe and Jess Thwaite were living a comfortable, ordinary life in Gloucester—raising their children, managing careers, and dreaming of a simpler existence in the countryside. Like many families, they occasionally played the lottery, entertaining dreams of what might be.
In May 2022, their lives transformed in ways they never could have imagined when they became the UK's biggest-ever EuroMillions winners. Overnight, they found themselves navigating the complex reality of sudden wealth.
Rather than retreat from public view, the Thwaites made the conscious decision to embrace their new reality with openness and authenticity. They've chosen to share their journey—not just the glamorous aspects, but the profound personal transformations that come with life-altering change.
Joe & Jess Thwaite
Discovering that true wealth is measured by positive impact and meaningful connections
The Thwaites have discovered that the greatest pleasure of their newfound wealth comes not from what they can acquire, but from what they can contribute. They've developed a philosophy of "conscious generosity"—approaching giving with thoughtfulness and intention, focusing on creating sustainable change and meaningful connections.
Focusing on initiatives that create tangible, measurable differences in people's lives through personal engagement and strategic support.
Supporting projects that create lasting benefits beyond immediate assistance, fostering independence and long-term growth.
Believing that the most meaningful giving often happens through personal connections and understanding individual stories.
Balancing normalcy with extraordinary opportunity while staying true to core values
Their new home allows the children to experience the rural life they always wanted—with ponies, chickens, and space to explore.
They're fulfilling dreams of travel, from watching rugby games around the world to exploring tropical destinations and cultural experiences.
Despite the changes, family remains at the center of their lives, with a focus on creating shared experiences and lasting memories.
