Each player has forked out a minimum of £5,000 with some punters bagging over £1.02million.

And some residents grabbed tickets worth £340,000 with many pocketing as many as three at a time.

Danyl Johnson, ambassador of the Postcode Lottery, said the life-changing windfall was Scotland's record-breaking win.

At the time he said: "We’ll be in the heart of Scotland this weekend for a heart-warming celebration with all of our players.

"It’s even more special this time because this is Scotland’s biggest-ever Postcode Lottery prize.

"Players will be picking up their prizes, but they also know it’s a win-win situation because local, national and international charities benefit from their contributions."

Neighbours screamed with joy as he handed out the life-changing cheques.

Fellow winner, Stewart, was part of 10 neighbours to land the huge windfall in Perthshire in Scotland.

He believes the whopping £680,000 Postcode Lottery win could be a heavenly nod from his late ex-partner Robert.
