A County Down boy has won £390,000 playing the National Lottery.

Callum Fitzpatrick, 16, from Ballymartin, said that he "burst into tears" when he realised that he'd won.

He matched five numbers and the bonus ball in Saturday's draw, but wasn't able to celebrate with a glass of champagne, as he's not old enough to legally drink alcohol.

Callum is currently studying A-level maths at school, and the huge Manchester United fan says he'll spend some of his winnings on trips to see his favourite team play.

He said: "I realised I'd won that night when I was watching it live. I burst into tears, but not for long. 

 

"Then I phoned my dad on his mobile to break the news.

 

"He didn't believe me at first but then he realised I was telling the truth."

He added: 'I'll maybe buy a car, I'm learning to drive in January.

"And as a big Manchester United fan, I'm sure I'll go to Old Trafford a few times this season."
