A bricklayer has insisted he has NOT won £10 million on the Lotto.

Steven How insists he is the victim of a huge hoax, after rumours spread through Crawley that he had won the cash.

As reported in The Argus, a mystery builder from the town has won more than £10 million but his identity has not been released.

Steven, of Binstead Close, Ifield, said: "It's been a wind up since Friday night in the pub. my mate did it for a laugh. I wish I had won. I have had people on the phone all the time and people slapping me on the back saying well done."
