All big winners of the National Lottery receive specialist advice and support from experts from the operators, Allwyn.
“The Fixer” then steps in to “add the magic touch” and help winners navigate their new lives – and big dreams – with flair.
One of Amanda’s most frequent requests from many winners is flying pet pooches with their owners to some of the most exclusive locations around the world – all because winners haven’t wanted their dogs to miss out on the celebrations.
Amanda said: “It can be a daunting experience – it sounds crazy to say – but imagine going from having a small amount of money in the bank to suddenly having millions – just like that.

“It is one incredible journey that these winners are embarking on, and I feel so honoured to be able to play such an important role in crafting and creating bespoke and unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experiences for these incredibly lucky individuals.
“A new designer watch or handbag, a VIP trip to the Grand Prix in Monaco or a VIP world cricket tour, a meet and greet with a superstar or a private showing of Cirque de Soleil on your chosen desert island – these are all real experiences enjoyed by winners which we have helped to create.”
With the EuroMillions jackpot hitting a massive £208M on Friday, June 6, Amanda and her team are on standby to help the next lucky winner.
A single winner of this giant jackpot would be the biggest National Lottery winner ever in this country.
Amanda added: “It is an amazing feeling to be helping people to live and fulfil their dreams following their National Lottery win.
“Many of these people are just so overwhelmed with excitement at the prospect of what their new life now means – they simply don’t know where to start and what to do with their new-found fortunes and this is where we can step in to help, reassure and guide them on their journey to living their ultimate dream and fulfilling their bucket list.”
Amanda got the idea for The Fixer when her beach bag was swept out to sea during a Caribbean lunch break.
She shared: “I returned to my lounger, and it had gone.
“The time and trouble it took me to sort everything was unreal.
“My bag had everything in it.
“This was what made me think – wouldn’t it be great if there was someone who could do all of this for me and take away the hassle of this mishap while I am on my dream holiday.

“Something like this could so easily happen to anyone.
“Not only this but having someone to help arrange my holiday for me was something that I thought pretty much anyone in the world would appreciate – particularly people with more money than most who might have more on their to-do list to organise.
“All this leading to me really having the best job in the world. I love helping and supporting people.”
