"I looked first at the two Lucky Stars and noticed we had those. Then I scanned across to the first main number and immediately knew they all matched our numbers.  Richard and Angela Maxwell (PA)  "I checked again and again, five times in total, as I couldn't believe it.  "Then I saw only one ticket had won £53 million and I was in shock.

Richard just went red in the face and then said 'we've won £53 million'.  "I just said 'don't be stupid' - he's always playing jokes so I thought it was an April's Fool.  "I just didn't believe it, then he showed me the numbers on the website and I dropped the basket of tea towels on the floor. I then just sat down in the chair for about half-an-hour stunned."
