The young male winner, after discovering his life-changing win, telephoned the lottery offices to advise that he couldn't claim the prize at the moment because he had a double shift to work... but that he would try and come back later in the week.
Just another little reminder that it doesn't take intelligence to win the lottery!

UK Lotto Winner Jailed
Melvyn Howlett (45) who won £1.2 million on the UK Lotto was sentenced to three months in prison for trying to smuggle 14,000 pouches of tobacco into the UK.
He said he was stocking up on tobacco to hand out free to guests at his party to celebrate winning - he was found guilty of trying to evade £20,000 of excise duty.
I guess the party will have to wait till Melvyn gets a chance to go back for the beer and wine...
