A man has had the most unforgettable holiday, discovering he won a £787,000 ($1m) lottery jackpot while on a Caribbean cruise.

Jerome Testa, an aerospace technician, was touring the high seas when he decided to go online to check his numbers.

To his amazement, he found he was one of five winners in Virginia’s New Year’s Millionaire Raffle.

“My wife screamed and fell off the bed,” Jerome, from Orange, Virginia, told lottery officials.

Purchasing the ticket at a Wawa store on Plank Road in Fredericksburg, he had to wait until his return to claim his winnings.

He said he intends to use his prize money to take care of his family.

The three other million-dollar winning tickets were bought in Arlington, Leesburg, Manassas and Stafford.
