A Tesco delivery driver who scooped up millions in a National Lottery draw has gone back to work full-time.
Jonny Johnston has returned to his job as a Tesco delivery driver in bitterly cold decisions despite bagging a £3.8million lucky dip jackpot.
The 45-year-old said he was reluctant to sit on the winnings and was determined to return to work.
Johnston braved icy conditions which left much of Northern Ireland paralysed to ensure people's shopping was delivered across County Fermanagh.

Johnston and partner of 25 years, Christina said they wanted to use the money to provide security for their two sons aged 23 and 19, and a daughter aged 20.
However, he said he would like to take the family for a holiday.
He said: "I would love for us all to go to the Caribbean, maybe on a cruise as it sounds and looks incredible.
"We have never had a family holiday together. I just need to apply for my passport first."

Speaking of the moment he realised he had won, Johnston said: "I was sitting on the edge of the bed on Sunday morning trying to make sense of what I was seeing. I just kept staring at the numbers on my account.
“I thought maybe I had won £38,000 but then there were too many zeros.
"I passed the phone to Christina for her to check and she was in disbelief too. We both began to think that it was a trick, a scam even. We decided we had better call Camelot and double-check."
"The kids were silent at first, looking at both of us in disbelief. And then the screaming and shouting started and everyone was jumping around the kitchen, cheering. Seeing as it was still early, we popped the kettle on and toasted the amazing news with a cup of coffee."
Driving jobs at Tesco pay roughly £12 per hour, £1,200 a month depending on shifts.
Johnston potentially may earn up to eight times that figure in interest on his big win.
Coutts, the King’s bank, offers millionaire accounts with attractive interest rates for some of the UK’s wealthiest people.
It could see Jonny earning upwards of £180,000 in a single year.
