Speaking at  a news conference in Glasgow, one of the winners, Sandy Morton who put on the lucky dip ticket said: "We were in the pub I had the ticket with me and the lottery came up at ten past nine, I got a beer mat out and wrote the numbers down - which I thought were the numbers - and I said 'we've got five numbers' there is 22 and there is 32, we've been unlucky. 

"Then a friend came up and said 'the other number is 32,' I said ' well, we've got six then' I said get it up on the teletext, and it was party time."
