A National Lottery winner thought she only won £2.60 and planned to buy a "bacon butty" before finding out she had pocketed millions.
Richard and Debbie Nuttall from Colne in Lancashire scooped a staggering £61,708,231 on the EuroMillions while celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary in the Canary Islands.
Initially, they thought they'd won just £2.60, with Debbie joking at the time: "Woohoo, we'll go and have a bacon butty or something with that."
It was only later they discovered the app had updated to show they'd won over 1.5 million times the UK's average fulltime salary.
Richard and Debbie Nuttall initially thought they'd won £2.60 - but actually cashed in a staggering £61 million PA Accountant Richard struggled to contact the National Lottery from Fuerteventura due to poor signal.
Four calls kept cutting out, making him suspicious. "I'm thinking, 'this is a scam, someone's trying to extract information out of me inch by inch,'" he said.
Richard described their celebration: "Obviously we were stunned but also very excited at the time, it was almost like Del Boy and Rodney when they come out of Sotheby's and they start cheering and punching the air, the car was rocking."
Meanwhile, a lucky ticket holder has just scooped the £7.3 million National Lottery jackpot but has yet to come forward to claim their prize.

Set of balls 5 and draw machine Guinevere were used for the draw.
Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser, said: "What a way to start the month for this lucky Lotto player. Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight's lucky winner."
However, while someone picked very well for the biggest prize, there wasn't as much luck for the runners up. Nobody matched five out of six main numbers plus the bonus to win £1million.
The Lotto HotPicks jackpot also went unclaimed. The £500,000 Thunderball jackpot similarly found no winner.
Following Saturday's unclaimed £7.3million win, Wednesday's Lotto jackpot will be reset. Players will have another chance at winning with an estimated jackpot of around £2million up for grabs in the midweek draw.
