At a press conference in Derbyshire this afternoon Miss Carrington said the pair's first thoughts were how they could use the money to take care of their parents.
She said she has only played the lottery about half a dozen times and put the win down to it being "my lucky day".
She said: “I did have a feeling I was going to win.
“The store where I work had won an incentive for delivering excellent sales. We had been presented with £10,000 which was shared between staff.
“After that I just felt like it was my lucky day and decided to get a EuroMillions ticket.
They follow in the footsteps of Mansfield couple Gareth and Catherine Bull, who won a £40m EuroMillions jackpot on January 20.
The couple are now seventh in the list of the largest jackpots ever to be won in the UK.

“Very nice for the couple but i believe 45 million pounds is far too much for one person to win i think it should be capped at 10 million and the rest donated to charities then alot more people could benifit from this money. No disrespect to the couple just to the Rules of the lottery.Even 10 MILLION IS ENOUGH.”

“Good luck to both of them, they seem like a sensible couple so I don't think they'll blow it all in a few years! I'd hope not anyway! After seeing two UK jackpot winners in the last month I'm trying my luck this weekend with 2 tickets for tonight's Euromillions and 1 for Saturday's Health Lottery. I just wish I could find out the Health Lottery results http://tinyurl.com/899vwe5 before the draw and win the jackpot! Good luck to Cassey and Matt.”

“Good luck to the pair of them. I hope they keep their feet on the ground as best they can, remember their roots and not let themselves be exploited by all the inevitable 'new best friends' that'll come crawling out of the woodwork!”

“Congrats to both of them. On radio they sounded like a really nice couple and were wondering how to pay for washing machine repairs when they checked the numbers. They can buy a new one now. I just hope they don't get lots of 'mates' suddenly coming out of nowhere.”
