Sausage roll, please. Have you change for £2.5m?

TWO jobless cousins who scooped more than £2 million on the National Lottery told how they found out about their good fortune over a sausage roll.

Alan Rennie, 50, and William Air, 46, of Craigmillar, Edinburgh, initially left family and friends baffled and went into hiding when they realised they would be sharing the 2.5 million Lotto jackpot.

Mr Rennie said he found out about the win after returning home last Monday.

He said: "I had a job interview coming up on Tuesday for a carers' job, and I'd just had a mock interview.

"I jumped off the bus, got the paper, went to Greggs and I was sitting down at home to a can of soup and a sausage roll. I opened up the paper and thought 'That's my numbers'.

"It's disbelief - I picked up my phone to William and said 'Have you got the paper there? Go to the lottery numbers'."

Mr Air said: "I couldn't believe it. I went to his house - he was shaking.

"I just picked up the phone to Camelot and they said they would come down the next day."
