A couple from Scunthorpe have won £1m on the EuroMillions lottery - for a second time.
David and Kathleen Long beat odds of 283-billion-to-one to add to the £1m they picked up in 2013.
"All you've got to do is believe you're going to do it," Mr Long told Sky News.
Explaining why he carried on playing the lottery after his first win, he said: "When I won it the first time, and everything settled down and that, I believed I was going to do it again ... I kept saying to friends and some of the family: 'I tell you I'm going to do it again!'"
The couple won their first £1m in 2013
The couple said they are going on a cruise to celebrate their second win - because Mr Long is afraid of flying.
Asked what they had bought with their first £1m, Mrs Long said: "He bought a home for his mum and brought her nearer us.

"And we got married, and bought a holiday home. The biggest thing that happened was Dave retired."
Mr Long said he decided to give up his job as a lorry driver to "chill out" - pointing out that he was still young enough to enjoy the windfall.
He said he was passing his local shop on Friday night when he saw there were 10 £1m prizes on EuroMillions and decided to have another go.
"On Saturday morning I sat down in front of our telly and started checking the numbers. On one line I'd matched two numbers and one star to get £7.20 and thought that's all right," he said.
"Then I checked the raffle codes - something I've learnt to do automatically since winning last time. After a few moments I very calmly called Kath in and said 'Have a look at this. It's there. Look. Read that line'."
Mr Long said his wife checked the TV and went online, adding: "Then she went up right close to our television on the wall, put on her glasses and stared really hard at the raffle numbers.
"It seemed ages and then she finally said: 'You said you'd do it again and you have!' Everything has been a blur ever since."
The couple become the first people to win £1m twice to go public. They also won a car in Friday's draw.
A law student cleared of plotting an attack in the UK's first secret terror trial has been jailed for having a bomb-making guide.
Erol Incedal was jailed for three-and-a-half years for possessing a memory card with what the judge said were viable instructions for making an explosive device.
Last week, the 27-year-old broke down in tears as he was found not guilty after a retrial of plotting with a terrorist in Syria to either target individuals such as former prime minister Tony Blair or carry out a "Mumbai-style" outrage using a Kalashnikov.
But, referring to the bomb-making manual, Mr Justice Nicol said: "The potential for such bombs to cause death, injury and destruction is obvious.
"The fear, panic and terror which explosions also bring are often a deliberate part of the terrorist's ambition."
Incedal was convicted last year of possessing the manual on a memory card at the time he was arrested in October 2013. His friend Mounir Rarmoul-Bouhadjar, also 27 and from London, admitted having an identical document.
Rarmoul-Bouhadjar was jailed for three years.
Mr Justice Nicol told the pair that even though they were not terrorists, Parliament had made possessing such documents an offence because of the danger of them being in circulation.
As Incedal had admitted in his trial to discussing a plan to buy and sell class A drugs and to acquire a gun with his friend, their mitigation of previous good character was "somewhat blunted", the judge said.
Both defendants have been in custody since their arrest 17 months ago, so they could be eligible for parole within months.
The case became a legal first after an attempt by the Crown to hold the entire trial in secret was scuppered by a media challenge at the High Court.
Today, Mr Justice Nicol refused a bid by the media to be allowed to report a "Part 2" section of the trial which was held behind closed doors but with 10 accredited journalists allowed to take notes.
While a small section of the trial was held in public, the lion's share of the evidence, including most of Incedal's defence, was completely in secret.
Outlining the case against the pair today, prosecutor Richard Whittam QC told the court how the defendants travelled to the Turkey-Syria border in early 2013 in support of opposition to the Syrian regime.
The prosecution case was that they crossed the border into the war-torn country and Incedal accepted they stayed in a house or compound on the border where they mixed with other Islamists.
While it had been their intention to travel into Syria for humanitarian reasons, while at the house, they were shown how to strip and reassemble Kalashnikov rifles and how to make improvised explosive devices, Mr Whittam said.
During the trial, Incedal said they decided to go back to London because the conditions were "harsh" and Rarmoul-Bouhadjar wanted to return to the UK and to his job.
Winds of up to 70mph battered parts of England and Wales overnight, causing widespread travel disruption and flooding in some regions.
In the northwest, firefighters spent three hours removing a 20ft tree which had fallen onto a house in Leigh - ruining a family's plans to go on holiday.
And at an Esso refinery in Hampshire, a crewman was rescued from a sinking tug by a heroic employee who jumped into the water to save him.

Without hesitation, he swam to the capsized vessel and smashed a window to help the trapped crew member, who only had access to a small pocket of air inside.
All of the employees have been accounted for, according to the coastguard - although one person had to be treated for hypothermia following the incident.

Earlier, journeys on the West Coast Main Line between Warrington and the Lake District were delayed by up to an hour - while trees on the line caused considerable disruption between Exeter and Taunton, Salisbury and Romsey, and Aylesbury and London.
Several bridges on the motorways were closed as a precaution, including the Dartford Crossing on the M25, the Severn Bridge on the M48, and the Ouse Bridge on the M62.
There was also bad news for fans of the Thunderbirds, as an event to promote the new series on the River Thames was cancelled.
Although it will "gradually quieten down" as the Easter weekend approaches, the Met Office predicts the strongest winds are yet to be seen in northwest England.
And, even though it is the first day of April on Wednesday, wintry showers are expected over higher ground in Scotland, spreading into northern England and parts of north Wales.
Sky News weather producer Becky Yussuf said: "The unsettled, wet and windy weather will continue through until Good Friday.
"High pressure will build across the UK and Ireland over the Easter weekend, bringing largely dry and settled conditions.
"There is expected to be a lot of cloud around, and so brightness might be at a bit of a premium.
"Temperatures will be around average for the time of year, with highs of 14C (57F)."
It's the kind of advertisement that money can't buy.
The front page of the Daily Telegraph is devoted to a letter, signed by more than 100 business leaders, backing Conservative Party policies and warning "a change in course" would "put the recovery at risk".
Remember that when Labour took out an advert in the Financial Times quoting business bosses supporting their policies on the EU, they had to pay for the privilege.

It's a long way from the "prawn cocktail offensive" of New Labour, who expended huge efforts in wooing big business and the city.
Video:Osborne: 'Letter Unprecedented'
Some of the signatories are former Labour Party supporters, including Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannatyne, theatre director Sir Cameron Mackintosh and Sir Charles Dunstone of the Carphone Warehouse.
Economic competence will be crucial to getting the keys to the door of Number 10 - so the voice of UK PLC matters.
However, I suspect that Labour will be less concerned about this letter in comparison to a similar missive in the Telegraph during the 2010 campaign.
Video:'Letter Does Not Mention Labour'
Firstly, I understand that it was organised by the Conservative Party, with co-chairman Andrew Feldman reaching out to his contacts in his little black book. It was not organised independently by the business community, and is deeply political.
Secondly, and most importantly, Labour is happy to try to draw a contrast between the Conservatives standing up for big business and Ed Miliband on the side of the little man.
As one key ally of the leader of the Labour Party put it to me: "We want the election choice to be about whether you want a country run for the wealthy few or the less well-off many. Today's match up between the letter on their side and zero hours contracts for 1.8 million poorer workers on our side captures that pretty well."
Video:'Don't Tamper With What Is Working'
The Telegraph letter merely highlights dividing lines that have already been drawn.
With the polls virtually neck and neck, it's still unclear which argument will win the election.

The inquests into the 96 deaths started 25 years after the event
By Nick Martin, North Of England Correspondent
Survivors of the Hillsborough tragedy have given moving accounts of what happened to them that day.
They were called as witnesses to the inquests into the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans who died at the semi-final on 15 April, 1989.
Ian McDermott, who paid £6 for his ticket to attend the match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, told the jury that he was one of the fans who entered the stadium through a side gate which had been opened by police to allow fans into the ground.
He told the inquest he went through a tunnel at the Lepping's Lane end and arrived at a crowded pen three.
"I just describe it was a swirl. It was completely rotating all the time, never stayed still," he said.

"I was completely compressed from all sides, I just couldn't move at all. I wasn't in control of my own movement.
"I knew instantly that there was a problem. The match was very quickly erased from my mind. I wasn't interested in anything that was happening on the pitch."
Shortly after kick-off Mr McDermott said he lost consciousness and woke up on the floor of the terraces.
He said: "There was a lot of people standing on my legs and there was someone holding my head. I could hear people shouting into my ear."
He told the inquest that he believed someone had given him "the kiss of life" and placed him face down on the pitch in the recovery position.
He told the inquest that in the days after the disaster he had suffered chest pains and panic attacks.
Gillian Edwards had attended the semi-final the year before with her friend Fiona and had stood in the same pen with a fence between them and the pitch, she told the inquest.
"We both said to ourselves we had to make sure we never had a barrier in front of us because we got crushed that year. It was uncomfortable which made us scared," she said.
She said on the day of the tragedy they had both returned to the stadium and also stood in pen three.
"It was fine. We were just having a laugh, banter with people I remember a beach ball going over head," the jury heard.
Shaking and tearful giving evidence, she said: "Two specific memories I have is one of the push forward and then another push, which scared me.
"I was used to football crowds and movement because of going to the various matches. That scared me but then it eased off. But then there was a second surge forward.
"There was no police. I knew there was something really wrong happening.
"I was making sure that I was breathing. I was making sure, just thinking 'What the hell is going on here?'.

"And there was a man who was shouting 'There's girls here, there's girls here. Get the girls out. Stop pushing!'.
"I could hear more panic in his voice, which was making me even more aware then how bad the situation really was."
Christina Lambert QC, on behalf of the coroner, asked: "You lost consciousness in the crowd that day?"
"Yes. I did yes," Ms Edwards replied.
The jury heard that Gillian Edwards suffered a "severe brain injury" during the crush and woke up in hospital having been in a coma for five days.
She was "totally blind" when she woke up and had since regained some sight since, the inquest heard.
John McCarthy told the inquest that his younger brother Ian was one of the 96 who died.
He recalled the crush and being told that his brother had died. He said he went to a gymnasium which had been set up as a temporary morgue.
"There was a pile of bodies on the floor, all over the place, laid out in lines. We had to step over them all to get to Ian because he was on the far side. Once we got there we wouldn't leave him alone.
"When we first got to Ian we knelt down beside him. He had his eyes open. I put him on my knee I said 'wake up'.
"I just couldn't believe he was gone. I sat there cradling him."
He told the inquest that several months ago police showed him video footage of the gymnasium and that he had identified his brother.
"The video zoomed in and I saw Ian. His face was covered and I couldn't work out what it was. Then I could see it was a bin liner. They put a bin liner over his face."

A Labour government would threaten jobs, deter investment and put Britain's economic recovery at risk, according to a letter signed by more than 100 leading business figures.
Senior executives from some of Britain's best-known businesses hailed the Government's economic policies, which they claim show that "the UK is open for business".
The move was orchestrated by Conservative Party co-chairman Lord Feldman, who is continuing to email business leaders asking them to "consider adding your name as a signatory to this letter".
The top executives - including BP's CEO Bob Dudley and West Ham United vice-chairman, the Conservative Peer Baroness Brady - argue that keeping the Tories in power is the best way to ensure continued growth.
In an open letter to The Daily Telegraph, the signatories, who had been approached by the party to add their names to the letter, said the Conservatives' economic policies have supported investment and the creation of jobs.
Video:'Don't Tamper With What Is Working'
:: For full coverage of General Election 2015 click here
The letter has been signed by at least five former Labour backers, including the chairman of Dixons Carphone and Talk Talk plc Sir Charles Dunstone, and former Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannatyne.
The business figures write: "We believe this Conservative-led Government has been good for business and has pursued policies which have supported investment and job creation.
"David Cameron and George Osborne's flagship policy of progressively lowering Corporation Tax to 20% has been very important in showing the UK is open for business. It has been a key part of their economic plan.
Video:'Letter Does Not Mention Labour'
"The result is that Britain grew faster than any other major economy last year and businesses like ours have created over 1.85m new jobs.
"We believe a change in course will threaten jobs and deter investment. This would send a negative message about Britain and put the recovery at risk."
Mr Cameron was quick to welcome the letter tweeting: "Today's #businessletter in the @Telegraph shows job creators support our long term economic plan. Labour's taxes will cost jobs."
Mr Osborne told Sky News: "This is an unprecedented intervention in a British General Election. A hundred business people, employing over half a million people and leading some of Britain's best-known companies, from Primark to the Prudential and from BP to Britvic and Mothercare, have spoken out.

Duncan Bannatyne backed the Labour government under Blair and Brown, stating he would 'hate' to see David Cameron in power. He joined Gordon Brown on part of the campaign trail in 2010

Workers on zero-hours contracts will be able to demand a regular contract after 12 weeks under proposals announced by Ed Miliband.
The Labour leader promised to outlaw the "exploitative" contracts in a commitment to be included in Labour's election manifesto saying: "We have got to end the epidemic of zero-hours contracts.
Speaking at an event in Huddersfield, Mr Miliband said: "You shouldn't be left at the beck and call of an employer who can ask the world of you but give you no security in return. It's not fair, it's not good for businesses and we will put a stop to it."
The proposal strengthens Labour's previous policy on the contracts, which sought to give workers the right to a regular contract after 12 months.

Video:Zero-Hours Contracts
The announcement comes after Prime Minister David Cameron admitted that he could not live on a zero-hours contract during questioning from Jeremy Paxman on Sky News' Battle For Number 10 programme.
Mr Miliband said zero-hours contracts have become a symbol of a low-wage, low-skill economy.
In reference to Mr Paxman's interview with the Prime Minister, the Labour leader said: "If Cameron can't live on it, nor should you - Labour will give workers a legal right to a regular contract, not a zero-hours contract.
"Today I can announce that in our first year of government after the election, Labour will legislate for a new principle: If you are working regularly, you have a legal right to a regular contract."
Mr Miliband first set out the 12-week proposal in 2013 at the Trades Union Congress (TUC) conference, but later backtracked.
Video:Zero Hours 'Gone Too Far'
A spokesman for the party leader said the change back to 12 weeks would incorporate 92% of people on the controversial employment terms.
The proposal is expected to include exemptions for employees such as so-called bank nurses, who request a zero-hours contract so they can work at another hospital as well as their usual job.
Mr Miliband was asked by a worker at the Huddersfield factory what was to stop employers only providing work for 11 weeks to dodge the provision. He replied a "legal mechanism" would be put in place to prevent it.
The Coalition Government sought to prohibit exclusivity clauses in zero-hours contracts, but the Labour Party argues this does not go far enough.
A Conservative spokesperson accused Labour of "presiding over zero-hours contracts" for 13 years.
Video:Osborne Under Fire Over Zero Hours
"Zero-hours contracts account for just one in 50 jobs in our economy," the spokesperson said.
"This Government has already banned the abusive ones - and all the while Labour presided over zero-hours contracts with no safeguards for three terms and 13 years while they were in power."

A mafia gangster who was due to be extradited to Italy from the UK has been told he no longer has to serve his sentence.
Domenico Rancadore, known as "The Professor", hid out in Britain for more than 20 years until he was discovered living in west London in 2013.
Italian authorities wanted the 65-year-old returned to his native country because they said should spend time in jail for being head of an organised crime group.
He lost his battle against extradition in February but it emerged on Wednesday that the punishment he was due to serve has been "extinguished" since last October.
The house in Uxbridge where Rancadore lived
His solicitor Karen Todner said: "Domenico Rancadore's sentence in Italy extinguished due to age of conviction.
"I have sent a consent order for the discharge of Rancadore to the Crown Prosecution Service to sign."
Before his arrest, Rancadore was living in Uxbridge with his family under the name Marc Skinner.
After a year-and-a-half long extradition battle, the Sicilian was told he must return to Italy to serve his seven-year sentence.
He was never convicted of murder but was tried in his absence in 1999 for "association with the Mafia" because he was a member of the Cosa Nostra.
A mugshot photo of Rancadore in 1994
The mobster claimed he came to England out of fear in 1995 as he wanted to give his "children a good life" and that he felt "their life wasn't secure" in Italy.
He was first arrested on a European arrest warrant at his semi-detached London home in August 2013.
His lawyers initially defeated an attempt to extradite him on human rights grounds in March 2014 but they failed at a second attempt this year.
It is understood that under Italian law, although a conviction stands, a sentence expires once a period of more than double the time of the penalty has passed.
With a seven-year sentence, the 14-year period would have elapsed some time last year.
A Lithuanian builder who stabbed a couple to death as they slept in their home has been sentenced to life with a minimum term of 33 years.
Viktoras Bruzas, 39, earlier pleaded guilty to murdering Patrick and Gillian Kettyle at their detached house in Fetcham, Surrey, in November.
He carried out the murders because he wanted to take revenge on Mr Kettyle, 55, who he blamed for "ruining his life" and for the break-up of his marriage, the Old Bailey heard.
Patrick and Gillian Kettyle were killed at their Surrey home
The killings came after he learnt of "flirtations" between his wife and Mr Kettyle, the court was told.
Bruzas arrived at their home - at which he had previously fitted a kitchen - armed with a kitchen knife after midnight on 27 November.
He left six minutes later after stabbing his victims multiple times.
The victims' terrified teenage son - who cannot be identified for legal reasons - hid in his bedroom after being woken by screaming and shouting as his parents were being killed.
When Bruzas came to his door, the boy held the handle to stop him getting in, the court heard.
Bruzas told the son through the closed door: "I have no issue with you, boy, or your mother. It's Patrick, he's ruined my life. I'm not scared of prison."
Prosecutor Alan Kent QC said the attack on Mr Kettyle was "particularly brutal", adding that it was likely he stabbed Mrs Kettyle as she tried to protect her husband.
Bruzas, from Walton-on-Thames, admitted the killings on Wednesday after pleading not guilty at an earlier hearing.
Bruzas was caught 18 hours after the attacks in nearby Oxshott.
When he was arrested, he calmly asked police: "How long do you get for murder in this country?"
The court heard that in the months before the killings Bruzas made threats against Mr Kettyle and was given a police notice in January last year.
Prosecutor Alan Kent QC said: "The reason for the brutal and horrific murders was that the defendant blamed Patrick Kettyle for the break-up of his own marriage.
"He held Patrick Kettyle responsible for ruining his life. On that evening he left his flat armed with a knife, intending to take the ultimate revenge, and that's what he did.
"The victims were a perfectly normal middle-aged couple who were, in their own home, murdered by this defendant."
John Lennon's first wife Cynthia has died at her home in Spain, aged 75.
Her son Julian Lennon said in a statement she died "following a short but brave battle with cancer".
He said he had been "at her bedside throughout" and "the family are thankful for your prayers".
Julian also tweeted a picture of his mother inside a heart with the message "In Loving Memory".
Cynthia met John Lennon at art school in Liverpool
Cynthia Lennon met the legendary songwriter at Liverpool Art College in 1957.
They were married just before Beatlemania took the world by storm.
At the height of the Fab Four's success, she was kept so far from the limelight that many female fans did not know Lennon was married.
She stayed at home bringing up their son Julian while The Beatles toured the world.
Cynthia pictured with the Beatles and Ringo's first wife Maureen in 1965
The pair divorced in 1968 over Lennon's relationship with Japanese artist Yoko Ono.
Cynthia was re-married several times after the divorce and published memoirs of her time with Lennon.
Hunter Davies, who wrote the only official biography of The Beatles in 1968, said Cynthia was "a lovely woman".
"When I was writing the book I spent two years with them, visiting her home and spending time with her," he said.
They divorced after Cynthia found about Lennon's relationship with Yoko Ono
"She was totally different from John in that she was was quiet and reserved and calm. She was not a hippy at all.
"I think it was the attraction of opposites between them.
"When they got together at art school everyone was amazed - she was seen as refined and reserved and nobody thought they would last.
"John treated her appallingly. He slept with Yoko in their marital home and, as we discovered later, he also physically attacked her but she was loyal to him."
