    The irony is he probably couldn't even afford to buy himself.

    How would you feel if you bought someone else a Lottery ticket and they won a big prize like that? I'd be completely and utterly gutted, in fact I'd probably try and get it back! It's a really stupid thing to do.

    I do it regularly. It's a quick cheapskate present when required. And always take a note of the numbers in case it goes missing en route, or in case the person in question should choose not to publicise their winnings

    I don't know about all Lotteries but if you win big (£10k plus) on UK Lotto or €uromillions on a ticket bought in a shop etc then you need to provide details of when and where you bought the ticket. This is stop people finding tickets in the street or stealing them etc. So if you do buy someone a winning ticket don't give them the purchase details!

    Love it... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-42548339

    He said he had "no immediate plans" for the money

    Bet its like receiving £10 from your Nan on your Birthday... No rush to spend it, get on with life as normal

    Although surprised his Uncle isn't the one far right going by his expression

    It's a million pound ffs, he's not Eden Hazard is he.
    Still life changing and probably will help him relax and enjoy his football for the rest of his playing days without fear of paying a mortgage.

    Good for him.
