Graham Nield, originally of Hanging Heaton, matched all six numbers on the Lotto last August, which landed him the cash windfall.

The 55-year-old said: “I just wanted someone to say it was real and confirm it. I kept welling up.”

Mr Nield, who bought his winning ticket from Tesco in Batley, proposed to his long-term partner Amanda Vickers after winning the jackpot.

The couple tied the knot at Dewsbury Registry Office last year.
