Humble builder Andy Clark, 51, scooped the life changing prize in a EuroMillions draw after his niece begged him to check his ticket. 1 Andrew Clar, with his partner Trisha Fairhurst celebrating the huge win After looking at his winning numbers, back in December 2018, Andy rang Camelot and the conversation sparked disbelief across the nation. The 51-year-old from Boston, Lincolnshire , told the phone operator: "Hello there mate, I think I've won a few quid so I phoned." To which the lotto staff member laughed and replied: "Okay, so you've won £76million." Andy causally batted off the news and simply said: "Yeh." "You're the person with the ticket," responded the phone operator in disbelief at the builder's calm reaction. The winner went on to explain: "What is was, my niece kept saying about looking at my tickets, because I only check them about every three months and last night I checked them." The exact amount was £76,369,806.80, to which Andy joked: "Just a little bit then." When asked what he would splash the cash on, the Lincolnshire man said: "No, haven't got a clue." Andy received news of his huge windfall a whopping six weeks after the draw. He said he had been working on freezing rooftops through the winter, while the golden ticket sat untouched on the sun-visor of his van the whole time. The builder went on to tie the knot with his girlfriend Trisha Fairhurst, 52 - but the pair kept it simple despite the jackpot and married at the local pub. However, since the EuroMillions win, the couple have splurged on some luxury purchases. Andy has spent up to £700,000 on supercars including a Porsche , a McLaren and a Mercedes . A source said: 'Andy and Trisha are determined to keep their feet on the ground — it's only the cars where Andy has really spent money."
