Bill Bett, from Markinch, bought the Monopoly Millionaire card from his local Co-op on 1 June.

"When I saw the amount it didn't really click at first. On the card it reads 1MIL and I thought what does this mean - I've won a pint of milk?" he said.

But the shop confirmed to the 69-year-old he had indeed won the top prize.

"I went back into the shop and asked them to check it. They confirmed that I had won and that I'd have to call the Lottery line. I couldn't believe it but I actually remained quite calm," Mr Bett said.

"When I got home I phoned my three sisters who all thought I was winding them up. But they said it couldn't have happened to a better brother and are so happy for me."

Mr Bett then tucked the scratchcard behind the cover of his tablet to keep it safe until it was validated a week later.
