A lottery winner has driven his “rusty” old pickup truck through thick snow to collect his £122k cheque – before preparing to buy a new fancy motor.

Daniel Bragg, 46, ventured through a snowstorm to claim his top prize, which he said he will use to upgrade his old banger with 849,000 miles on the clock.

The lucky winner posed alongside his “loud, red, and rusty” pickup truck after arriving at Iowa Lottery Headquarters in Clive City last week.

Bragg, who comes from Newton City, won the £122,116 ($150,000) top prize on New Year’s Eve.

After checking his $10 ‘Money Gift’ scratchcard, he said to himself: “I’ve got to get a car, got to get a car.”

As a result, Bragg plans to buy a new pickup truck with his winnings, as reported by What’s The Jam.

He told lottery officials: “Oh, it’ll be a major upgrade.

“This vehicle, though, can still pull anything.

“They said they built these like a tank, and yeah, it’s a tank.”
