Lottery winners remembered on 25th year since first drawpublished at 12:42 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2019
BBC Radio NottinghamIt has been 25 years since the first National Lottery draw was broadcast live from the BBC in London.
It was hosted by Noel Edmonds while Anthea Turner was in Nottingham providing inserts from the intu Victoria Centre.
Over the years Nottinghamshire has seen more than 700 people claim prizes of £50,000 or more.
In 2012, the county had two big winners - Cassey Carrington and Matt Topham from Stapleford won just over £45m in the EuroMillions, followed by Gareth and Catherine Bull from Mansfield Woodhouse who won more than £40m.
Later that year, Jim and Maureen Emerton from Carlton won £4.5m and Alan and Kim Elliott, from Aspley, won £1m.
David Brown was living in Eastwood when he and his family won £1m three years ago.
"I was scanning the QR code on my iPad and I didn't believe it so I switched it off and scanned it again and again," he said.
"I told my daughter and she didn't believe it either, so she downloaded the app herself and scanned it on her phone."
Since winning, he and his family have bought a holiday lodge in Lincolnshire and moved house.
His daughter, who also got a share of the money, used it to pay for fertility treatment. She is now seven months pregnant.
