The beauty of winning £148 million on the lottery is that you can say goodbye to your 9-5 and will never have to work a day in your life again without ever worrying about your finances.
But for some people whose lucky numbers came up, scooping the jackpot ends up opening some unexpected doors which can make them even richer if they put a bit of graft in - like Adrian Bayford.
The former postman, from Cornwall, reportedly previously preferred splashing his cash on importing hundreds of pasties from his hometown each month, but he's now found a more profitable way to utilise his huge winnings.
But do spare a thought for the pastry whizzes at the local firm Philips, as if Adrian has completely give up his pasty addiction, then they might just go bankrupt.

That's because he was said to be scoffing on up to 60 of the flaky delicacies each week at one point, one mystery friend told the Sun, so he must have been shelling out a small fortune considering they were priced at £1.55 each.
Then again, £90 over a seven-day period is probably considered small change to a multi-millionaire like Adrian.
He scooped the EuroMillions jackpot back in 2012 and became the second biggest UK winner in history as he took home a tidy £148 million with his then-wife Gillian.
Speaking of his whopping windfall at the time, Adrian said: "I had been watching the film The Bank Job on TV while Gillian was out with friends. When she got back, we decided to turn over and catch-up on the news.

"Scrolling along the bottom of the screen was the news that one person had won the EuroMillions, but Gillian confessed that she hadn't had time to get a ticket," the dad explained.
"As a joke, I also said neither had I when in fact I had five lines upstairs waiting to be checked.
"By now both of our children had woken up so while Gillian was trying to settle them back to sleep, I went to check the numbers on my phone.
"Gradually the numbers seemed to match up with those on my ticket and I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"I rushed back and turned on the main light, at which point Gillian went ballistic.

"The kids really were awake by now. I was trying to tell her that we had won the lottery and she was telling me to keep the noise down."
I can imagine that's exactly how most British households would react to a lotto win, to be honest.
Anyway, these days Adrian has a new love in his life - his fiancée Tracey Biles, 45 - as well as a newfound thirst for success, which is why he's swapped bakeries for bubbly.
The couple have created a vineyard on the sprawling £12 million estate they live on in Cambridgeshire.

The 53-year-old is attempting to turn his winnings into wine by planting what appear to be Meunier grape vines, which are one of three varieties used to produce Champagne.
However, his fizz cannot carry the name as it doesn't originate from the French region famed for the stuff.
His other half Tracy is getting the credit for 'inspiring' the business move, according to The Sun, as the green-fingered ambulance worker has reportedly helped to transform the grounds into a stunning vineyard.
One of the lottery winner's pal's said of the move: "It’s fantastic to see Adrian using his fortune to explore new ventures. It shows what a fantastic influence Tracey is on him.

"Hopefully we’ll all be able to buy Chateau Bayford soon."
It's apparently a great time to get into the industry too, as the UK's increasingly warmer climate is apparently giving Champagne a run for its money.
According to Jane Clare, of wine blog One Foot in the Grapes, Adrian has boosted his property value as well as well as cashing in on the fact that 'home-grown wines are taking off'.
She added: "As our climate gets warmer, it is easier to ripen these grapes to a quality which in turn can create quality sparkling wines.”
