“Wow! That’s fantastic! I don’t know what to say!” he exclaimed.
“I had no idea. Thank you very much! I really don’t know what to do or say.
“It’s just a bit much with everything else going on at the moment.
“I’ve been playing these same numbers for a long time. This win has been a long time coming!

When asked how he planned to enjoy his life-changing windfall, the hot and bothered winner revealed he was excited about being mortgage-free.
“I’m not really sure what I’ll do with it all. It’s still sinking in!” he laughed.
“I do know it will go towards the usual things, like paying off my mortgage and things like that.
“I don’t even know what I’ll do with anything left over. I’m just so shocked. I really can’t think!
“We’re in lockdown so I can’t do too much to celebrate tonight, but I’m sure I’ll think of something!”
