When the father-of-three cashed in his winnings he immediately presented his job resignation and moved into the property business. Now selling off as well as several other houses in the Grimsby area.

There are four bathrooms in the whole property and two of the bedrooms are en suite, including this bathroom with a huge bathtub
He told the Mirror: ‘When I won I enjoyed all the luxuries you would expect of a lottery winner – even featuring my winning lottery numbers on the bottom of my 50’ swimming pool which I built at my Grimsby home.
‘Nowadays I don’t indulge myself quite as much as I used to but still enjoy the carefree life winning has given me. I spilt my time between my villa in Cyprus and Britain.
‘I also feel it was important to give back and have supported many charities – whether its running charity fishing days or dressing up as Father Christmas for the local hospital.’
