Neil Jones, a 59-year-old retired tiler, won a $2.9 million lottery prize in 2010. He decided to buy a pool table with his winnings, which kickstarted his professional career. Jones will soon captain an England team in an international pool competition.

Know how to finish a life in billiards with a million dollars?
Start with $2.9 million! Couldn’t resist. It’s actually a joke about racing.
