A Northern Irish chef who became a multimillionaire overnight through an online betting game proved the money would not change him after he still turned up to work on Valentine's Day, one of the busiest days of the year. 

Sean Doyle, 33, bet just £8 on the Paddy Power online game Mars Attacks on Wednesday and netted a £4.2 million jackpot - the biggest ever online win in the history of the company.

But instead of staying up all night celebrating the chef went to bed in order to be on time for his 9am shift the next morning at the Artisan Cookhouse in County Down. 

Sean Doyle, 33, from Newcastle, Co Down placed a £10 stake on an online slot game called Mars Attacks and won £4.2 million
