Scottish Borders Lotto win

National Lottery bosses are still searching for the second winner of a £33 million jackpot.

Their senior winners' adviser, Andy Carter, is visiting Worcester after the lottery operator confirmed that a ticket bought in the area matched all six balls in its record £66 million jackpot draw on January 9.

Under the terms of its licence, Camelot has discretion to pay prizes in respect of stolen, lost or destroyed tickets if a player has submitted a claim in writing within 30 days of the relevant draw.

David and Carol Martin, both 54, from Hawick in the Scottish Borders, celebrated winning the other half of the jackpot amid a flurry of media attention last week.

A couple from the Scottish Borders has won half of the historic £66 million lottery jackpot.

Before speaking about their win, they took the time to make sure everyone knows how to pronounce 'Hawick' correctly:

The couple, who have been married for 28 years, are planning to retire as soon as possible and said they would love a new home in the country, local to where they live now, and a holiday home in the sun.

Mr Martin said: "It's everyone's dream to win the lottery. I've talked about winning and what I would do so many times. But now it's actually here my mind's gone blank.

"We don't have all the answers yet but we'd like to help our closest friends and family, and there are charities which are important to us too.

"Parts of our community have also been hit by flooding and we know lots of people who have struggled in recent times, so there's a lot for us to work out but it's a nice problem to have."

He is a keen golfer but has been unable to play for some months due to a heart condition called Atrial Fibrillation.

Mrs Martin added: "David has been suffering in recent months from an irregular heart rate and has been taking medication to help control it.

"He will need to have a small operation soon to help steady the pulses and after that should be back out on the golf course before too long."

Their winning Lotto Jackpot ticket was bought from Morrisons in Hawick and the winning numbers were 26, 27, 46, 47, 52 and 58.

The couple's win has catapulted them to the top of the Lotto rich list, overtaking the previous biggest Lotto winners, Paul Maddison and Mark Gardiner, who shared a £22.5 million jackpot in 1995

David and Carol Martin, from Hawick, are celebrating their success at an event in Edinburgh today.

Carol worked in a local chemists for most of her life, and David has worked the last 8 years for Borders Care And Repair (part of Eildon Housing Association).

The rollover Lotto prize was split between two tickets that had all six winning numbers from Saturday's draw - 26, 27, 46, 47, 52 and 58.

Saturday's massive jackpot - the biggest ever - was the result of 14 rollovers.

New rules stipulated that once the amount went over £50 million it would have been shared between the next tier down of winners if no-one matched all six numbers.

On Monday, Lotto operators Camelot said the holder of one of the winning tickets had still not come forward and urged players to check their tickets again.

Homes, holidays and hot tubs are just some of the luxury buys that have been at the top of lottery winners' shopping lists when they become millionaires.

With more than £33 million in their pocket, here is what the latest Lotto winners could buy with their huge win.

The Scottish couple could buy 28 £1.18 million flats in Westminster, London, the UK's most expensive area, or they could opt for 292 £113,000 houses in the cheapest - Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

If they fancy doing up their current home or treating friends and family, they could afford 2,200 £15,000 kitchen makeovers or 6,600 £5,000 bathroom refits.

The lucky pair could drive away with 156 £211,000 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadsters or 275 £120,000 Audi R8s.

If luxury caravans are their thing, they could buy 1,650 priced at £20,000. The £33 million jackpot could buy 3,300 plush £10,000 hot tubs or build 1,320 £25,000 swimming pools.

They could go on an all-inclusive two-week summer holiday to Florida 6,600 times, based on the price of £5,000 for two people.

Or if they fancied going even bigger and better, they could go on an £80,000 round-the-world cruise in a penthouse suite for 130 nights 412 times.

They could purchase a 16-strong fleet of small private jets costing £2 million a pop or the record-breaking win would buy just one 100ft luxury yacht at £20 million - with £11 million left over.

If the world's most expensive hotel is more their thing, they could blow the lot by staying in the £53,000-a-night Royal Penthouse Suite in the President Wilson Hotel in Geneva for just 622 days.

A Lotto statement said: "A couple from the Scottish Borders are celebrating today after winning one half of last weekend's incredible £66 million Lotto jackpot.

"The husband-and-wife team are celebrating with a life-changing cheque for £33,035,323. The couple plan to enjoy their winnings and take early retirement."
