Revealed: Britain's second richest lottery winners who scooped £148million Euromillions jackpot and are now among 1,000 most richest people in the country

A second-hand record dealer and his wife were today named Britain's second biggest Lottery winners.

Adrian Bayford, 41, and wife Gillian, 40, of Haverhill, Suffolk were the sole winners of a staggering £148.6 million jackpot on Friday.








The couple have two children, Cameron and Amy, and run second-hand music shop the Suffolk Music Centre in the town.

They were unveiled as the winners at Down Hall Country House Hotel, near Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, today.

Their windfall makes them Britain’s second richest lottery winners and catapults them into the 1,000 richest people in the land.

According to a friend of the couple, the lucky pair live on a road of small shops and businesses in the centre of their town.

As the only winners in Friday’s draw, they scooped a staggering £148,656,000.

That is enough to buy all 168 properties on sale in Haverhill at the moment and still have over £100million left over.

The couple are expected to reveal their plans for the future at a press conference this morning.

The win is the seventh EuroMillions  jackpot won in the UK so far in 2012, which is believed to be an unmatched run of luck for one country. In total, the seven jackpots add up to £400million.


A National Lottery spokesman said: ‘We’ve had seven jackpot winners from the UK this year, which is unprecedented.

‘We have never seen anything like this. There’s no rhyme or reason as to why we’ve been so lucky.

It’s a lottery at the end of  the day.’

The latest win is £13million short of the £161million British record scooped by Colin and Christine Weir, of Largs, Ayrshire, last year.

But it will still be enough to make the lucky pair richer than Sir Tom Jones (whose estimated fortune is £140million), Prince William or Prince Harry (£28million), Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe (£54million) and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney (£45million).

For £148million you could buy the world’s most expensive painting sold at auction, Edvard Munch’s The Scream - which sold in May for £74million - and still have change for 292 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupes at £253,000 each.

Alternatively, you could buy three customised Boeing 737 private jets for £49million each, or snap up

Premier League football clubs Fulham FC (valued at £83million) and Wigan Athletic (£64.5million).

Friday’s winning EuroMillions numbers were 50, 21, 17, 48 and 11, and the Lucky Star numbers were 9 and 10.
