Let’s all put our jealousy to the side for a second and be happy for David and Carol Martin, the winners of Britain’s biggest ever Lotto jackpot.

Or you could give yourself a chance to join them and buy Powerball lottery tickets for tonight’s R25 billion draw HERE, just a thought.

The husband and wife from the Scottish Borders were mid-meal when they found out they had won, celebrating by drinking lots of cups of teas because they don’t own champagne flutes.

It doesn’t come more British than that, and when you mix in the fact that they plan to be fiscally responsible the picture is completed. More from the Daily Mail:

The handyman and mechanic revealed the first thing he wanted to do was ‘buy myself a nice pair of £200 brogues’, a range rover and an automatic for his wife, who works at a local Boots chemist…

Since learning they had become millionaires, the happy couple said they had been calling in sick at work – but finally told their employers about the record-breaking Lotto win this morning…

Mr Martin also revealed he was keen to help flood victims battered by recent storms, while on a personal front he spoke about going to a number of live sporting events.

He talked about going to Wimbledon and the Masters golf tournament and was also keen on buying a holiday home.

Spending it on attending sports events, now there’s a man with a solid head on his shoulders. In what should come as a surprise to no one members of the local community have heaped praise on the couple, many heralding them as wonderful people who would do anything for a friend.

If you feel like having friends blow smoke up your arse why not win R25 billion in the Powerball draw tonight HERE.
