A BLOKE who won a £41 million jackpot has been accused of offering the "worst lineups of beer ever seen" at his personal bar.

Gareth Bull bagged the Euromillions windfall in January 2012 and four years ago started building his dream four-bed home.

Despite boasting a swimming pool with programmable waves, two hot tubs and three bars, it's Gareth's taste in lager that has left Brits baffled.

Sharing a photo of him pouring a pint of San Miguel, one Twitter user blasted: "41 million quid and he’s managed to assemble one of the worst lineups of beer taps I’ve quite frankly ever seen.

"The wrong people are winning the money."

Among the 52-year-old's controversial lineup is Carlsberg and race-goers favourite John Smiths, all on tap.

Strongbow also features alongside Marston's Shed Head pale ale.

But critics were having none of it, with one fuming: "John Smith over Guinness is stuff that should get you 10 years."

Another asked why the jackpot winner didn't even have Birra Moretti, Estrella and Staropramen on offer.

While another beer lover suggested the millionaire's bank account "needs seizing immediately".

But other's jumped to Gareth's defence, with one noting: "Can guarantee every 'Lad' commenting about the lineup sups Madri."

Gareth bought the two-acre site with a three-bed bungalow in Nottinghamshire back in December 2018 and began work six months later.

He did most of the build himself and installed an artificial lake filled with 10 rehomed Koi and an accompanying lodge.

Other standout features include a sound system built into the ceilings and an 8ft projector for watching his beloved Manchester United.

Gareth said one of his favourite features of the 6,00 sq ft house is "a remote-controlled system which runs my lights, curtains, music and ceiling speakers all from my phone".

The EuroMillions winner added: "The house is extra special because I did so much of the work myself, and during the pandemic too.

"It helped me through lockdown, and I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had this to work on. It was the perfect distraction with a great reward at the end of it."
