Keenan Altunis, 33, has just left for a Caribbean holiday with his family, which was already booked before his win. He lives in a £750,000 apartment in Clerkenwell, London, with his wife and one-year-old daughter.
Mr Altunis was born in Turkey but his parents moved to America when he was five. He was brought up in the United States before moving to London for a career in finance. The executive at the European banking firm Unicredit asked his mother to buy three tickets for him on a trip to New York last month.

He said: "It turned out to be the best return on any investment I've ever made."
Because he lives in Britain, he will not pay federal taxes on his winnings. After New York taxes he will get £569,742 a year for the rest of his life.
He said: "Is it going to materially change my life? No, I've been a very blessed and fortunate person."
