A self-confessed "white van man" has revealed how he celebrated Britain's biggest ever lottery win with a bacon roll. Property maintenance man Nigel Page, 43, who won a £56 million share of Friday's EuroMillions jackpot, breakfasted on bacon butties at his local cafe with his partner Justine Laycock, 41, and their children.
