Driving straight from the car garage where he works, he met his wife and their two daughters at a cafe close to their Bolton home.
He was hit just minutes after buying the lottery ticket and waving goodbye to his family.
Lewis was left with a broken pelvis, fractures to both femurs, a compound fracture to his right shin and severe damage to his left foot, which could not be saved.
Six months after the crash, Lewis was finally able to go home.
Sarah said the family now faced “a completely different life” and “a long road to recovery” but were determined to stay positive.
“We’re busy with appointments but it’s all positive things moving forward,” she said.
“It’s just a new journey that we’re doing now, navigating everything.”
A 57-year-old man is due to stand trial in November after being charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
