The winner, known as Mr M, became £1m richer after playing the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on August 16.

The man, who played a personal selection of sentimental numbers via the National Lottery website, has become one of more than eight million players who win each week.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “What incredible news for Mr M who has become a millionaire overnight. Huge congratulations.”

The county has been on a lucky streak in recent months with Mr B scooping another million-pound jackpot in June.

His first purchase was a pair of Levi jeans and he also planned to use the winnings to buy a new Bentley and treat himself to dental implants so he can "smile about the win".
