“My wife Anna thought I was joking but I told her it was real and that I’d had my biggest-ever win.

The father of one said, “I went to Hawaii before I was married and will never forget it. It’s a brilliant place. The best place in the world.

“I never thought I would be able to afford to go back but I can now. It will be like a second honeymoon for us. Anna will be getting a nice present too – probably a diamond.

“We went to Ibiza when we got married 12 years ago which was good, but it wasn’t Hawaii.”
