The names of Britain's second biggest ever Lottery winners were announced today.

Suffolk-based husband and wife Adrian Bayford, 41, and Gillian, 40, who is originally from Dundee, scooped £148.6 million in Friday's EuroMillions draw.

The lucky couple, who have a daughter aged six and a four-year-old son, scooped the staggering sum with the winning numbers 50, 21, 17, 48 and 11, and the Lucky Star numbers 09 and 10.

The jackpot - £148,656,000 - is just behind the £161 million landed by Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in North Ayrshire, in July last year.

They were unveiled as the winners at Down Hall Country House Hotel, near Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, today.

Adrian, who co-owns a music shop in Haverhill, and Gillian, a children's ward healthcare assistant at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, struggled to fully appreciate the moment they realised they had won the jackpot as their young son had just woken-up and was crying.

Adrian said: "I had been watching the film 'The Bank Job' on TV while Gillian was out with friends. When she got back we decided to turn over and catch-up on the news.

"Scrolling along the bottom of the screen was the news that one person had won EuroMillions but Gillian confessed that she hadn't had time to get a ticket.

"As a joke, I also said neither had I when in fact I had five lines upstairs waiting to be checked.

"By now both of our children had woken-up so while Gillian was trying to settle them back to sleep, I went to check the numbers on my phone.

"Gradually the numbers seemed to match-up with those on my ticket and I just couldn't believe what I was seeing!

"I rushed back and turned on the main light at which point Gillian went ballistic!

"The kids really were awake by now. I was trying to tell her that we had won the lottery and she was telling me to keep the noise down!"
