He has said he will buy the "best possible medical treatment" for his father, who is waiting for a heart and lung transplant.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

The story implies that he deposited 25p, had a spin and won a massive jackpot.

Either way, good on him for wanting to do the best for his dad with the money.
