Hide AdThe best-known winners are the astoundingly generous Ray and Barbara Wragg, who won £7.6million in 2000 and gave away more than £5m of it to friends, family and charities.
Sadly, Barbara passed away in 2018 aged 77 – and ever since, husband Ray has been fulfilling his wife’s wishes for him to live life to the fullest with their winnings.
Mr Wragg recounted what it was like to break the news to his boss the day after his win in 2000, saying: “When I told him I'd had a win, he said: 'That reminds me, I need to check my ticket.' I said 'don't bother Dave - I won the lot'.”
The couple went on a cruise after the win, which Mr Wragg said they “loved”.
