The ex-Black Watch sergeant was over the moon at the big win
He even helped his golf club get a tractor after his record win on the People's Postcode Lottery in April last year.
The ex-Black Watch sergeant and police detective, of Bridge of Earn, Perthshire, said: 'It's been life-changing.
'The big thing is the security, not just for me but my family too.
'I went to the car showroom and paid cash for a new Merc GLE 300.
And I decided to get a bungalow built closer to Dunkeld golf club, where I play. I also made a good donation to the club.
'They were after a new tractor, so I helped them out.'
Davie bought motors for son Dale, 33, and daughter Amie, 38, plus a works van for his daughter-in-law.
He enjoyed a family hol on the Greek island of Crete and treated pals to golf trips.
The retired cop landed his windfall with 10 neighbours after PH2 9FG won Postcode Lottery's biggest-ever pot in Scotland of £10.2million.
Each ticket was worth £340,000 but Davie had paid for three of them.
This week he visited Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance, which receives £300,000 a year from the lottery.
SCAA's Criona Knight said: 'Without the players, there would not be this pot of funding.'
It comes after a man claimed that he won millions of pounds on the lottery, but refused to give his family any cash.
The anonymous lottery winner, 24, explained that every month, he and his wife, also 24, get a lottery ticket.
