The men matched five numbers and one Lucky Star in last Tuesday’s draw in their first attempt with their syndicate.

The Barnsley workers bought the ticket while working on a project in Glasgow and will now pocket £55,528 each.

The men – Nigel Himsworth, 41, Adam Wright, 27, Ashley Robinson, 28, Adam Booth, 20, Michael Hunt, 31, and Darren Fisher, 42 – have been in Glasgow for the past few weeks.

Himsworth told Press Association: “We had checked the tickets at 7am and the claim line didn’t open until 9am so we were all pacing up and down until we knew everything was confirmed.

“We’re over the moon with our win. We went out for a celebration at the weekend when we were home and we were treated like pop stars.

“It hasn’t really sunk in yet so no-one has decided what to spend their money on at this stage, but I’m sure there will be a few holidays being planned.”
