The news comes as seven Brits scooped ￡1 million on the National Lottery last night with punters urged to check their tickets to see if they've won.
The ￡20 million jackpot wasn't bagged by a single ticket holder in the roll-down lottery, which features a 'must be won' pot of money.

'You wouldn’t think I was a millionaire'
A NATIONAL Lottery winning dinner lady still lives in her council house, shops in Primark and drives a Kia despite bagging ￡1.8million.
Trish Emson, 51, explained money or her millionaire status did not change her or her partner Graham Norton, also 51, who still works as a decorator.
The down-to-earth pair have even managed to keep their teenage son Benjamin, 17, in check – and don’t even give him pocket money.
The modest mum, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, said: “Being rich doesn’t make you posh or a better person.
“I don’t like showing off and bragging about money and I can’t be posh anyway.
“To look at me you wouldn’t think I was a millionaire, but if I have to dress up I feel fake, I prefer my jeans,” she told The Mirror.

Money doesn’t buy happiness
For many, winning the jackpot means mass celebrations and ultra-expensive cars – but not for Susan Hardman.
When the mum-of-one’s numbers came up in January 2010 she worked as a hairdresser in Eardisley, Hereford, and was “struggling financially”.
Instead of splashing out when the ￡1.2million win landed in her bank account, she traded in her scissors for overalls and became a pig farmer.
Susan claimed to be happier than ever knee-deep in mud and said bringing a piglet into the world brought her “more satisfaction” than winning the lottery.

The age restrictions
It is illegal for any retailer to sell these goods to anyone under the age of 18 – and will apply to favourite games like Lotto and the EuroMillions.
Online sales of lottery tickets and scratchcards have already been banned – this came into force in April this year.
The new age restriction, which was exclusively revealed by The Sun, aims to make sure the lottery is not a “gateway to problem gambling”, minister for sport, tourism and heritage Nigel Huddleston previously said.
Gambling is illegal for under-18s, but until now anyone 16 or over has been able to play National Lottery games.

Living on handouts despite lotto win
John Roberts, from Edinburgh, won a massive ￡3.1million back in 1998.
But just three years later the security guard was penniless after blowing his money on cars, houses and luxury holidays.
One of his first big buys was a massive Tudor mansion in Blackpool, which he moved his wife, Linda, and five children into.
The five-bedroom detached home was worth around ￡160,000 when he bought it – and was a far cry from their council flat in Pilton, Edinburgh.
The seaside house was called Balmoral, after the couple’s favourite Scottish beauty spot.
In 2001, John moved out of the home and moved in with his cousin. At that time, it was worth ￡250,000
John is now rumoured to be living on handouts from friends and family after his marriage fell apart, and was said to be living in a caravan at one time.

Some Lottery winners haven’t told ANYONE about their money
The man who looks after lottery winners says he has advised some people who have never told a single soul, and that he will “never know” himself how it feels to win big.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, has seen “all sorts” of reactions in his 15 years dealing with lucky ticketholders.
“I’ve seen people be sick with excitement, I’ve seen people resign their job on the spot, I’ve seen people jumping up and down, I’ve known husbands who haven’t told wives and wives who haven’t told husbands, I’ve been to homes where there’s literally a party going on already,” he told the PA news agency.

Thunderball explained
Players must pick five main numbers from 1 to 39 and one Thunderball number which ranges from 1 to 14.
Prizes may be won by matching the main numbers, but those who also match with the Thunderball will win a larger prize.
If a player matches with the Thunderball only, they could win ￡3, but if they have match all five numbers and the Thunderball, they could scoop ￡500,000.
Draws take place at 8.15pm four times a week – on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays – and are shown on the National Lottery website and YouTube.

The syndicate members are mostly pharmacy staff at Morriston Hospital in Swansea and aged between 20 and 63.
They have been working flat out during the pandemic.
Pharmacy technician Kim Owen, 61, said: “It’s been a scary time for all of us so the win is extra special.”
Members of the syndicate, which is called the Pharmily Crew, will each receive ￡2,227. Most say they will spend their share on sunshine holidays.

Fraud who swindled ￡2.5m in fake ticket scam still owns ￡466k house
A RAPIST who scammed millions on the Lotto ten years ago still owns a posh four-bedroom house he allegedly bought with the tainted dosh.
The home in commuter haven Kings Langley, Herts, just minutes from the M25 has fallen into serious disrepair.
Docs show it is still owned by convicted rapist and fraudster Edward Putnam who is currently serving nine years for his despicable part in the biggest scam to ever hit the National Lottery.
He was jailed for seven years in 1993 for raping a terrified pregnant 17-year-old girl.
Putnam, now 56, "scooped" ￡2.5 million on the National Lottery in 2009 after conspiring with a Camelot employee to craft a fake ticket.

Seven Brits scoop ￡1million as players urged to check their tickets after ￡20million rolldown
SEVEN Brits scooped ￡1 million on the National Lottery last night with punters urged to check their tickets to see if they've won.
The ￡20 million jackpot wasn't bagged by a single ticket holder in the roll-down lottery, which features a 'must be won' pot of money.
If the National Lottery jackpot isn't claimed other lucky lottery winners receive a larger sum and share the top prize.
Wednesday's top lottery prize now stands at around ￡2 million after nobody scooped the weekend jackpot.
The winning Lotto numbers were 21, 07, 29, 39, 34, 03 - and the bonus number was 19.
Seven players won ￡1,050,578 for matching five numbers and the bonus ball, and 156 tickets bagged ￡5,532 after matching five of the six numbers.

Millionaire maker odds - Lotto backup
According to the EuroMillions website, there is a 1 in 1,900,000 chance that a player could win the Millionaire Maker game on a Tuesday.
This shrinks to 1 in approximately 2,250,000 if there is a rollover – meaning no one has won the previous draw’s jackpot.
On a Friday, it’s estimated that there is a 1 in 2,950,000 chance of winning a guaranteed ￡1million.
If there is a quadruple rollover, the odds could fall to 1 in 3,400,000.
Winning the game depends on the number of payslips sold so the odds fluctuate from game-to-game.
The odds can also change if there is a special event.
In March 2019, EuroMillions created 40 UK millionaires in a one-off special draw.
