Anthony Nutbrown was over the moon after a decision to play UK lottery turned out to be his best ever purchase. After banking a £3,038,567 share of the UK Lotto Double Rollover jackpot on Saturday 14th June, the self-employed builder from Carlisle now has the firm foundations for a successful future.

Anthony explained: "We had arranged a family braai on Saturday and we were running out of cool drinks so I went to the local shop and decided on the spur of the moment to buy a couple of Lucky Dips while I was waiting in the queue. What a stroke of good luck that turned out to be!"

"I was checking my usual numbers against the draw numbers on Teletext and then remembered the Lucky Dip tickets. It was such an unbelievable feeling to find that all six numbers on the ticket matched the Jackpot. I had to check and double-check before it finally sunk in. We're a very close family and winning the lottery means that we can support the children and grandchildren in ways we couldn't do before. It's a dream come true."

Anthony and his partner, Patricia Alderson, a nursing assistant, are planning to go on holiday to allow themselves time to decide how to spend their winnings, although a new house and the latest luxury Jaguar, the XKRS, are high on Anthony's list. The lucky couple, who have four children and six grandchildren, with another grandchild on the way, will also ensure their good fortune is shared around.
