The win has now propelled Joe, 49, a communications sales engineer, and Jess, 44, who runs a hairdressing salon with her sister, to the top of the National Lottery’s rich list.

Only 14 players have ever won more than £100m and the previous record was an anonymous winner who took home £170 million in October 2019.
