A woman 'fell off the bed' when she found out she had won the lottery the week before her wedding
Christine Jane, from Launceston, Cornwall, initially thought she had scooped £100,000 with her ticket but was then even more shocked to find out when she called to claim the prize that it was in fact 10 times that.
She told BBC South West: " We're still the same people, loving people, caring people, money hasn't changed us whatsoever.
"I fell off the bed. We couldn't believe it, my husband couldn't believe it when he came from work. We had to show him the ticket... still now we can't believe it."
Christine revealed that since their big win, she and her now-husband have splashed out on a new house and they have gifted their old one to her sister-in-law.
She added: "Some new cars, a family home, a bungalow and my sister in law is living in the bungalow now. We bought him [her husband] a van because he wanted a van, so I bought him a van."
