Tesco delivery driver wins £3.8m in Christmas lottery
A supermarket delivery driver won a £3.8million Lotto jackpot – and returned to work a week later to hand out Christmas goods.
Jonny Johnston, aged 45, came home from a Christmas night out with work colleagues from Tesco when he received an email from the National Lottery telling him there was “good news about his ticket” on 16 December.
Thinking he had won a lucky dip he went to bed, before the following morning he and his partner, Christina Williams, checked the National Lottery app and discovered he’d become an overnight millionaire.
After much “screaming and shouting” in his house, the couple modestly toasted the huge win with a cup coffee and kept the news a secret before the 45-year-old returned to work a click and collect shift at his Tesco store on 23 December.

A bit of private health care might be on the cards.
Never about how much the income is but more about how you spend it
