CARDIFF, Wales, March 24 (UPI) -- A Welsh man who won a $2.6 million lottery jackpot has returned to his job at McDonald's because he missed his co-workers.

Luke Pittard, 25, who quit his job at the Cardiff, Wales, restaurant after he and Emma Cox, 29, his girlfriend as well as co-worker, won the jackpot, said he decided to go back to his old position as staff trainer at McDonald's after living the rich life for 18 months, The Daily Mail reported Monday.

"They all think I'm a bit mad but I tell them there's more to life than money," he said of his co-workers at the fast-food restaurant. "I loved working at McDonald's before I became a millionaire and I'm really enjoying being back there again."

"Lots of my old McDonald's workmates came to our wedding and I had kept in touch with them all the time, so I just thought: 'Why not go back?'" Pittard told The Daily Mail. "To be honest, there's only so much relaxing you can do. I'm only young and a bit of hard work never did anyone any harm."
