While the lucky winner's meticulous technique may have helped her scoop the winnings, a Norwich grandfather won a similar prize with a much simpler method.
The father of two won the Set For Life game in just his third attempt at picking his own numbers.
He matched five numbers to claim his prize, describing the experience as "surreal".
Rather than relying on a Lucky Dip selection, he opted to pick his own random combination of numbers for the ticket, which he bought in-store.
The strategy paid off remarkably quickly, with the win coming on just his third attempt using self-selected numbers.
He said: "I woke up to check the ticket the day after I won, just to double check I wasn't dreaming."
The windfall will enable him to scale back his working commitments and dedicate more time to his loved ones.
Treating his grandchild is also high on his list of priorities.
