Wayne Hughes will never have trouble remembering the lucky numbers that won him £1.1million on the Lottery - because he's had them tattooed on his arm.One of the first things the 34-year-old did to celebrate his good fortune was have the digits 13, 16, 22, 25, 31 and 39 inscribed on his left shoulder in indelible green ink.
The numbers - made up of family birthdays - are written below the date of his big win last Saturday.
Mr Hughes, who works at the Wilkinson store near his home in Holyhead, Anglesey, said it still seemed 'unreal' when he picked up his cheque from Lottery organiser Camelot in Bangor.
He said he had no idea he was Britain's newest millionaire until two days after the draw when his mother checked his ticket and rang him Monday night.
He raced over to her house where he 'checked and double checked' his ticket against te winning numbers on Teletext.
'It was so late so I hid the ticket in an old CD box until the morning when I called Camelot,' he said.
'I still can't believe I am a winner. It seems completely unreal.'
As well as moving out of his rented flat to buy a house, Mr Hughes, who is single, is planning on buying gifts to treat family and friends.
