This isn't the first time a Premium Bonds millionaire has been crowned in Devon, in fact it's the 11th time.

Meanwhile this is only the second win in Mid Scotland and Fife in over 10 years.

However this isn't the only good news coming to Devon, the county is also home to another big winner who is yet to claim their £25,000 winnings from the May 2014 draw.

The prize was won from just a £20 Premium Bonds holding and the winning bond number was 5EP562961.

For the April 2016 prize draw ERNIE paid out over 2.3 million prizes of more than £68 million in value.

This makes the grand total of prizes since the first draw in June 1957 to 340 million and the value of those prizes to £16.5 billion.
