A couple from Cirencester have been named as the biggest ever UK lottery winners after receiving £56 million on the EuroMillions draw.
Nigel Page, 43, and his partner Justine Laycock, 41, were announced as the winners at a press conference in Bath.
Skydiving fan Nigel said: "I'm going to build myself a wind tunnel and play in that."
The total £112 million jackpot was split with another ticket, bought in Spain.
Justine said the couple, who have three children between them, had been very impressed with the response of their offspring - who had so far only requested a tarantula and a Shetland pony.
The winning ticket places the couple within the prestigious Sunday Times Rich List of the 1,000 wealthiest people in the country, while the winning numbers were confirmed as 1, 5, 18, 38 and 45, and the Lucky Star numbers were 4 and 6.
The latest record-breaking win continues a remarkable run of form for UK tickets in EuroMillions, after two British-held tickets shared a £91 million prize last November.
