David and Carol Martin, both 54, from Hawick in the Scottish Borders, have been revealed as the winners of half of last Saturday's record £66m National Lottery jackpot. The couple, who spoke at a news conference at the Dalmahoy Hotel near Edinburgh, described their win as 'a serious amount of money' and said they are still in shock.
The Martins were one of two ticket holders who matched all six winning numbers, securing a share of the largest ever National Lottery jackpot. Their £33m prize is the largest ever won by a single ticket in Scotland.
David Martin, a retired factory worker, said the win had not yet sunk in. 'It's a serious amount of money, it's life-changing,' he told BBC News. The couple, who have been married for 35 years, plan to use the money to help their family and secure their retirement.
