A joiner from near Rochdale has scooped an amazing £58million lottery jackpot. Ryan Hoyle discovered the EuroMillions win while checking his emails at 6am on Saturday morning, 18 April.
The self-employed joiner, who normally buys his tickets in store but who has been playing online during the lockdown, spotted an email from The National Lottery with the title, ‘You’ve Won’.
The 38-year-old said: “I always wake up early and was sat on the edge of my bed but couldn’t work out what I was looking at. "The email linked to my account which looked like a lot of numbers and I thought it might be millions but I couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing. "I couldn’t make sense of it and really needed to talk to someone so I called Mum and Dad.
