Beverley Doran, a single mother-of-four, from Shipley, won £14.5million back in 2017. She immediately started looking at houses and went to Harrogate for a weekend of celebrations. At the time she said: "Now I can be debt free. Before all my money went on the children and I went around in rags. The main thing is that my children are going to be fine.” Photo: The National Lottery
7. Niki Otterburn - £2.12
Niki Otterburn, 43, was working as a fitness instructor in a Leeds gym when she won £2,216,029 in November 2001.

8. Jane Cunningham - £7.54m
Jane Cunningham, 54, from North Yorkshire, scooped £7,544,200 in December 2008 – just after the credit crunch hit. The mother-of-seven said she and her husband, TV stuntman Mark, had always “muddled through” but with so many children it was a struggle. As well as moving her family from their small end-of-terrace house in Whitby to a farm near York, Mrs Cunningham tied the knot with her long-term fiancé shortly after the win, and has also been able to help out local charities and friends.
