A recently-married Plymouth couple are now looking forward to a lifetime of happiness without a single financial 'hitch' - after winning a £1.75m share of the National Lottery jackpot on Saturday 10 May.

Royal Navy weapons engineer Martin Adamson, 29, and his new wife, Hannah, 22, a student teacher, are now planning to start their future in style with the a romantic honeymoon to Las Vegas and Hawaii.

After getting married on Sunday 4 May just outside Plymouth, they could not go away straight away because Martin had to attend a course.

More importantly, this massive lottery win means they can now afford their dream home - the lucky couple are expecting their first child in November and thought they would have to move out of their own house and into Royal Navy married quarters in Plymouth when the baby was born.

Martin said: "I saw the numbers come up on the TV. I thought they looked familiar but went to check them online. I called up to Hannah who was in the bath at the time.

"She didn't believe me when I said we'd won the jackpot. Winning the lottery has been the perfect end to a dream week.

"We got married, we're looking forward to the birth of our first child, and now we can buy a house and have a honeymoon too!"

Martin - who chose his winning numbers from family birthdays - has played the lottery since its launch over 13 years ago.

The winning lottery numbers 4, 14, 18, 24, 32 and 40 produced a £1,777,059 jackpot share.
