Series 7: The Lottery Millionaire and the Spirit of Belfast
A character study of Peter Lavery, a Belfast bus driver who won £10.2m on the lottery in 1996 and has several new business enterprises launching this year, including the first whiskey distillery in the city for 90 years.\n\nThe film follows the progress of Peter’s ambitious plans for a ‘floating’ distillery in the Titanic Pumphouse and the launch of a new tour boat on the River Lagan. We also look back at his lottery win, what happened to him after that, and how he coped with the turmoil of going from earning £200 a week to suddenly becoming one of Northern Ireland's richest people overnight.
