Canty had won a £1 million jackpot in May 2020, just days after performing CPR on a collapsed police officer.
He was traveling home from work when the officer, who had just finished his shift, collapsed. Canty administered CPR with guidance from a 999 operator.
The officer was airlifted to hospital and spent five days in intensive care. Canty stayed in touch with the family, delivering fruit and flowers.
After his win, Canty called the officer, who said: "Good karma happens to good people."
Canty and his partner, Katie Sullivan, celebrated the win but he vowed to keep his job as a water supply engineer.
