Dad-of-three Steve then donated £50,000 to Selsey Medical Centre to fund new equipment, so locals do not have to travel miles for appointments.

He then handed a further £50,000 to his two sons’ school.

A source said: "He's not the kind of guy who wants recognition for doing something good.

“When he won the jackpot last year, he said he would look after friends and the community. He’s certainly stuck to his word.

"He's certainly stuck to his word."

Steve, who became richer than Harry Kane and Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood after the win, took a while to start splashing the cash.
