A couple from the Scottish Borders today revealed that they realised they had won half of the historic £66million lottery jackpot while tucking into a bacon and black pudding roll.
David and Carol Martin, from Hawick in the Scottish borders, have been named as winners of £33million, half of the UK's biggest-ever Lotto jackpot.
Mr Martin said the couple, both 54, stared at each other silently for 15 minutes when they found out, before celebrating their windfall with lots of cups of tea because they don't own champagne flutes.
He added:
The handyman revealed the first thing he wanted to do was 'buy myself a nice pair of £200 brogues' as well as a range rover for him and an automatic for his wife, who works at a local Boots chemist.
The Martins' winning ticket, which was bought from Morrisons, sat on their mantelpiece overnight Saturday and the couple did not check it until the following morning when prompted by friends.
The Martins said at a press conference this morning that their first purchase will be a first-class ticket home for their daughter, who is working for a recruitment company in Australia..
