A father of three whose back injury at the age of 31 forced him to give up work and sell the family home last year has become a Lottery millionaire.

Former carer Barry Little, 33, and trainee hairdresser wife Roberta, 32, from Dumfries, have toasted the New Year with a £1m EuroMillions win.

In late 2010, Mr Little had to take early retirement after injuring his back at work. He struggled to meet mortgage repayments and had to resell the family home back to Dumfries and Galloway council in May last year.
