<p> <br /> A man who won £2.3m on the lottery has said he won't quit his job because he would miss his colleagues.<br /> </p><br /> <p> <br /> Kevin Halstead, 46, from Chorley, has driven the same Stagecoach bus every day for the last 17 years - the 125 from Bolton to Preston.<br /> </p><br /> <p> <br /> He said: "I don't want to pack my job in. I asked my boss for time off, a month maybe two, but I don't want to cut myself off from my friends and I really enjoy my job.<br /> </p><br /> <p> <br /> "Maybe I will go part-time."<br /> </p><br /> <p> <br /> It was half of the jackpot from last Saturday's draw, which he watched live with his mother Joyce, 68, at her house in Eccleston, Lancashire.<br /> </p><br /> <p> <br /> "My mum said 'turn on the telly we could be millionaires'. I jumped up and said 'we've done the jackpot, Mum, do you want a bungalow?" he said.<br /> </p><br /> <p> <br /> The Liverpool FC fan lives with his long-term partner Josephine Jones, 43, a care worker. She has never been on holiday and Mr Halstead said he will buy her a passport so he can whisk her away.<br /> </p><br /> <p> <br /> He has also promised a pony to his 14-year-old daughter, Jessica.<br /> </p><br /> <p> <br /> Another possibility for splashing the cash is moving back to his home village of Eccleston, where he bought the lucky ticket.<br /> </p><br /> <p> <br /> But he won't be buying a Ferrari because he is "more than happy" with the Renault Laguna he got five months ago, after trading in his old motor on the Government scrappage scheme.<br /> </p>
