Richard and Debbie Nuttall, both 54, from Colne, Lancashire, have been named as the winners of a £61 million EuroMillions jackpot.
The lucky couple from Lancashire won a £61,708,231 share of the £123 million jackpot prize from the draw on January 30.
Meanwhile a Tesco delivery driver who won a£3,800,000 jackpot on the lottery kept the secret for a week and went back to work.
Dad-of-three Jonny Johnston, 45, went to bed after seeing the notification reading ‘good news about your ticket’, assuming he had just won a lucky dip.
But when he read the full email the following morning, he realised he had won the lottery.
He explained: ‘I was sitting on the edge of the bed on Sunday morning trying to make sense of what I was seeing. I just kept staring at the numbers on my account.
‘We both began to think that it was a trick, a scam even. We decided we had better call Camelot and double-check.’
In the People’s Postcode Lottery draw, three people living in Deal, Kent scooped £392,417 each.

Judy Eastwood and her her next-door neighbours and good friends Richard Clements and Sue Lally said they can now afford to fix leaky roofs and faulty boilers.
‘Wow,’ said Judy, who was close to tears when she saw the amount. ‘I knew we’d won something but didn’t expect to get the big cheque.’
In the US, Matthew Broadley won $1,000,000 in Massachusett’s State Lottery after his mother sent him a card with two scratch cards inside.
While posing with a large check showing his $1million winning, Broadley smiled and held the card from his mom that had a cover with hearts and the words, ‘son’, ‘feeling proud’, ‘feeling happy’, and ‘feeling love’.
