A couple from south Wales have been revealed as winners of £45.5m on the Euromillions lottery.
Les Scadding, 58, and Samantha Peachey-Scadding, 38, from Caerleon near Newport, shared the £91m jackpot with a syndicate of IT workers from Liverpool.
They celebrated with lunch washed down with £127-a-bottle champagne at their favourite restaurant on Sunday.
When he bought his ticket, Mr Scadding, who survived cancer five years ago, was £68 overdrawn at the bank.
Mr Scadding, a grandfather of six, has been out of work as a mechanic and haulage driver since Christmas.
He bought the winning ticket - one of two lucky dip lines - at the Tesco store in Spytty Road, Newport, while doing his grocery shopping last Friday.
Les Scadding: "I have always said I was going to win the lottery"
When he went back to the supermarket the next night he decided to check his Euromillions tickets.
"When I asked the people behind the counter to check the numbers the machine just printed out a pink slip telling me to contact Camelot.
