Oliver only signed up in August after a workmate persuaded him to join - landing him a bumper payout in the last week of the September draws.
Now the dad-of-one is planning a dream honeymoon with overjoyed fiancée Chelsea Anderson.
Oliver said: "You just never believe that this will happen. Sometimes you’ve got a little guardian angel."
Oliver shared £1 Million with 10 other neighbours in Melton Mowbray after LE13 0LN landed our weekly Millionaire Street prize. Every ticket was worth £90,909.
Tile firm customer service worker Oliver and Chelsea have already organised their November barn wedding celebration in Northampton.
The couple have invited 60 family and friends to their big day. And they’re now planning a special honeymoon after revealing they had been planning a smaller break.
"We'll have a really big honeymoon now. We're hoping for America. We want to fly to Nashville then onto Las Vegas, before going to Hawaii to relax."
Tina times it right

"This means so much. I'm going to make sure our children are happy. And the Scouts might have a bit of it as well."
Tina Culley told how she won £90,909 despite swapping her postcode to the family's new address weeks ago.
But she was told the switch wouldn't happen until the following month's draws, meaning she was still signed up for the September prizes - securing the huge windfall.
And she laughed: "If that had meant we didn't win, I think I would have been annoyed."
Now grandparents Tina and Carl, who have both been Scout leaders for 40 years, are set on helping family including their son and daughter.
Up my street

Next door Nigel Street choked back tears when lottery ambassador Judie McCourt presented his cheque. And the big-hearted former pub and snooker hall owner's first thought was to help charities.
Nigel said: "My God! This is absolutely fantastic. I'm lost for words. I'm getting quite emotional. Some of this is going to go to charity. We already support a lot of animal charities."
He said: "I have really nice young neighbours around here and they need something like this to give them a good push in life. We're a tight community and try to help one another out. That's what we're here for at the end of the day."
The neighbours all joined the Postcode Lottery because they are passionate about supporting charities. Their Millionaire Street win means local organisations will get a cash boost thanks to funds raised by players.
And one charity, Melton Learning Hub, has been awarded £50,000. They support young people through a programme of alternative education, youth clubs, summer scheme and youth and family support workers.
Other charities in the area receiving funding include:
- Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland - £40,000 The charity works to help older people live happier, active, fulfilled and socially-engaged lives in communities around the city, county and Rutland. The voluntary organisation is committed to the welfare of older people to maintain their dignity and recognise their value as individuals.
