The mystery man has asked to remain anonymous and is believed to own a business empire worth millions, with a portfolio of investments in the UK and abroad.

After scooping Britain's second biggest-lottery prize ever on August 31, with a win totalling £26,553,767, the winner has tried to keep his windfall a secret from all but his closest family.

Jubilant: The latest lotto winner took his prize weeks after Angela Kelly scooped £35.4m

It is the UK's second biggest lottery win and came just three weeks after the biggest to date.

In August, postal worker Angela Kelly, 40, won £35.4million, also in the EuroMillions draw.

Mum-of-one Angela, from East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, who lives with her 14-year old son, has since quit her job at a Glasgow sorting office.

There was a five-day delay in coming forward to claim the latest bumper lottery prize, which would have cost the lucky businessman more than £23,000 in lost interest alone.

It is reported that the man's son deposited the winners' cheque in a Surrey bank branch last week on behalf of his father - calmly queuing with other customers to wait his turn.

The prizewinner matched 6, 18, 22, 23, 37 plus lucky star numbers 5 and 6 to land the top prize, but asked lottery bosses to let him keep his identity a secret.

A EuroMillions insider told The Sun: "I can reveal he's already a millionaire - people here are stunned.

"It's incredible that a millionaire should scoop the jackpot but he's desperate to keep it secret.

"I think he's hoping people will think he's managed to make the money rather than win it.

"He's not a very flashy guy - so it's no surprise he wants to keep his good fortune hush-hush.'

A spokesman for Camelot said last night: "The winner has asked for no publicity. As a result, we cannot discuss their identity or any details about them."

The biggest winner on the UK's Lotto came in June 1995 when Paul Maddison, from Hastings, East Sussex, shared a £22.6million jackpot with friend Mark Gardiner
