The Record reports how Jason Donovan, a People's Postcode Lottery ambassador, knocked on her door to surprise her as she was joined by her daughter Michelle.
Lily said: "I used to work at Butlin's in Ayr and would get the train from West Calder to Glasgow, and then from Glasgow to the holiday park.
"I came down here when I was 19 for an adventure. I ended up staying when I fell in love with Peter, my husband. We've been at this postcode for over 40 years now and brought our family up here - it's been a good postcode with lots of memories!"
The grandmother of two plans to use some of her winnings to return to Scotland.
Lily said: "I've not been back home to Scotland in such a long time and I miss the accent. I'd definitely like to return and see how much West Lothian has changed since I was last there."
Ten of Lily's neighbours also won £379,062 each, while another doubled their prize to £758,124 thanks to playing with two tickets.
A further 706 people across the BN12 4 postcode area also won cheques ranging from £14,816 to £44,448 depending on the number of tickets played with.
