Lottery winners tell of joy at checking their numbers

The couple who won £33m in the National Lottery jackpot say they did not know they had won until Sunday.

David Martin, from Hawick, said that he and wife Carol did not watch the lottery programme and had bought their winning ticket in a local supermarket.

At a news conference, near Edinburgh, the couple were presented with a cheque for £33,035,323; a record jackpot which followed 14 consecutive rollovers.
