The couple have been identified as the winners of the Euromillions jackpot on November 19. Builder Steve Thomson recalled a hilarious demand from his 10-year-old son after scooping the prize. He said: “To be able to give our children a bedroom each is a big thing, so we have been looking for a house. We will stay locally but somewhere with some space.

“I would like to build our own place eventually but we’ve been looking at houses online for now. We will also support our families by buying them houses.

“The children haven’t asked for much at all. His own room will be everything to our eldest son, who is 15. Our other son did ask for a Tesla but he is only 10.

“And our daughter, who is 8, has her sights firmly set on a pink iPhone.”

Mr Thomson also told of his reaction to finding out he won the prize.

He said: “I am not sure I even looked at the first two lines, the third one just jumped out and I could instantly tell they all matched.

“I started shaking a lot. I knew it was a really big win but didn’t know what to do.

“I went out to my van, walked back in, thought about knocking on a neighbour’s door, went back to the van – I think I was on the verge of having a heart attack.

“I would have got all my jobs done by Christmas if this hadn’t happened!

“Once I am over the shock I will need to keep doing something, I am not the type just to sit still. My business partner knows that if he needs a hand I’ll be there.”

Mr Thomson’s wife, Lenka, said she will be able to see her family in Slovakia more often.

She said: “Our annual holiday has always been to see my family in Slovakia and each year we start saving for the next one as soon as we come home. Not only can I treat my family and see them more often, but we can also look to have other holidays, perhaps somewhere hot with a beach.”
