But when Joe got the email with the shocking news he didn't even wake his wife up.

"I looked it up and saw we’d won," he said.

"I couldn’t go back to sleep, I didn’t want to wake Jess up so I just laid there for what seemed like forever."

The Thwaites celebrated their jackpot with £16.95 steak and chips - and left a lucky tip.

Another pair of lucky winners scooped up a whopping £161million on the EuroMillions in 2011.

Colin and Chris Weir from splashed out on a stunning mansion and also bought a tractor.

It comes after Andy Carter, a Senior Winners' Advisor, revealed he always tells people who have won the jackpot to take a holiday.
