The winner then confirmed the news himself by checking The Lott app and immediately burst into shouts of glee.

The winner said he couldn’t believe the news after having the “worst morning”.

“It’s such good timing, you have no idea. I’ve just had the busiest and worst morning. This has really turned it around,” he said.

“I can’t even think properly. Oh my god! It’s the best day ever! My heart is pumping!”

He said he plays the “same numbers every Saturday”.

“They are favourite numbers I picked years ago using birthdays and anniversaries,” he said.

“I even checked the numbers and saw that a few of them were my favourite numbers, but I figured I’d just won $12 or something.

“I had no idea I had won $2 million!”

When asked how he planned to enjoy life as a multi-millionaire, the delighted winner said the first thing he would do was clock off work.

“There is no way I am going to be able to concentrate today, so I’m going to go home from work,” he said.

He added that he’ll be going on holiday as soon as the borders open.

“The rest will go into the bank, and I’ll have to think about how to spend it,” he said.
