A British mum has taken to social media to claim she's won £70million on Euromillions - but hasn't even told her family.
Elle Bell has gone viral on TikTok after sharing the story behind her big win and the plans she has for the huge amount of money.
This includes buying a home of her own so she can stop renting, reports the Mirror.

The post, from January 13, has already garnered 55,400 views but Elle said she hasn't even told those closest to her.
She also claims the most surprising part about her win is the money can't be transferred into her normal high street bank account.
She has even struggled to find a mortgage lender as despite personal wealth she needs to provide a work history.
Elle, who appears to be from the Midlands, said: "I haven’t told anybody this and I’ve kept it a secret from my family, but I won the EuroMillions, guys.
“I won the EuroMillions a month ago and I’ve been trying to sort it out, have a plan. Life’s different now, it’s not renting anymore, I’m looking for a mortgage.
"It’s just crazy, I thought I would tell my family, be doing meals, Selfridge’s, but I’ve held it down, I’ve been here at the house, we've not done too much spending."
She went on to explain that the National Lottery has told her that her money would have to be paid into a bank called Coutts & Co as she can't use a high street bank.
She continued: “I haven’t got the big bulk of it yet, it has to go to [another] bank. I can’t even use my Barclays bank, forget my Monzo, I can’t use any high-street bank.
“I’ve had to have a financial person sort it out, it’s crazy. Even though I’ve won the lottery, I was phoning places saying ‘can I rent this?’, but just because you’re a millionaire now, doesn’t mean you can just buy. They’re like ‘no, you still need a work history.’
“I’m like, ‘I’ve got £70 million, what are you talking about?’ I’m a millionaire and I’m still having to rent, it’s crazy. My son’s going to go to a private school.
“I would like this £70 million to last a few generations so I think I’ll get a second-hand Audi Q7. Family now, don’t ask me no questions, I’ve changed my number.
“I don’t want to find any cousins I didn’t know before. Life is good though, I’m so blessed.”
TikTok viewers were left stunned by the clip and took to the comments to congratulate her on her win but warn her to be safe when sharing the news online.One user said: "Girl, I love this! Congrats! You're a massive millionaire now!"
Another commented: “Please be careful telling everyone like this.”
A third wrote: "“Love when money doesn’t change someone.”
