A painter and decorator has won more than £7 million in a Lottery rollover.
The man from Edinburgh, who has not yet been named, had the winning ticket for Saturday's draw.
He is to collect £7,084,472 and will celebrate his win and discuss what he plans to spend it on in the Scottish capital tomorrow.
He joins a list of Scottish jackpot winners, including Chris and Colin Weir who won £161 million on the Euromillions lottery in 2011.
The couple displaced former postal worker Angela Kelly, from East Kilbride, who became Scotland's biggest winner in August 2007 when she won a £35,425,411.80 EuroMillions jackpot.
John McGuiness was the previous record winner when he won around £10 million in 1997 but lost millions of pounds investing in Livingston Football Club.
The Weirs have established a charitable trust and donated millions of pounds to community projects but their contribution to the Scottish independence campaign has received most attention.
The couple have given £5.5 million to the SNP and Yes Scotland since their record-breaking win, according to Electoral Commission figures.
The Euromillions winners describe themselves as "lifelong supporters of independence" and defended their decision to donate funds to the pro-independence campaign in a rare public statement earlier this year.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
