Malcolm Haines, from Reading, Berkshire, would tell his son every time they drove past the headquarters of lottery operator Camelot that one day he would be visiting to pick up his prize. However, because the 49-year-old Watford FC season ticket holder cannot visit the offices in person due to Covid-19 restrictions, he has instead been celebrating at his home with wife Rebecca, 52, and children. Mr Haines, who won on the Lotto draw on January 9, said: “While I have always expected this big Lotto win I can confirm it doesn’t make it any less shocking when it finally happens.
