Everton fullback Nuno Valente left local shoppers on Merseyside non-plussed yesterday.
The Mirror says Valente held up a shop queue as staff processed his 100 lottery tickets.
It took 20 minutes to sort the Everton player's EuroMillions purchase.
An assistant at the Sainsbury's in Liverpool said: "The shop was busy and customers were annoyed. It was really funny."
