In the USA, Daniel Chase from Michigan had a $1m winning Powerball ticket in his wallet for two months. Scottish couple David and Carol Martin had no idea the ticket on their mantlepiece was a £33m UK Lotto winner.When Mrs Strickley checked the ticket, she was asked to contact Camelot as it’d won over £500. Instead she looked on the internet and wrongly believed the ticket had won £2m and quickly phoned her husband. David, 58, recalled her calling him "all in a tizz" and he asked her to check again and that revealed a UK Lotto jackpot win of £21,044,592 which is the largest UK Lotto prize won this year.David works as an aircraft re-fueller at Babcock International and told his wife to do some shopping to take her mind off the win and keep the UK Lotto ticket safe.
