Earlier this year, a colossal £61million was won on the EuroMillions lottery, with a couple in Lancashire taking home the jackpot.
However, initially, Richard and Debbie Nuttall, both 54, believed they had only won £2.60 in the draw.

The couple were holidaying in Fuerteventura celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary when they found out the life-changing news.
Richard said they first believed that they had won £2.60 in the draw. They went about their day enjoying the sunny island when they received another email telling them to check their account.
“I thought it was odd and there must be a glitch in the system to get a duplicate email but I logged in again to my National Lottery account to check,” he explained.
“We were totally stunned, it said we had won over £61million,” said the lucky winner.
