A mystery man called Mr M has won £1,000,000 on the National Lottery.
Other than being called Mr M, the National Lottery has not released much information about the individual, only that the money was won on the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on January 19 and he’s from Hertfordshire.
Senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery Andy Carter told the Watford Observer: ‘Wow this is really great news for Mr M, who can now celebrate becoming a millionaire overnight after winning this incredible prize.
‘Huge congratulations.’
Allwyn, which took over from Camelot as National Lottery’s operators, said people release their name, remain anonymous or, (like Mr M) release some details through ‘partial publicity’.
It took control from Camelot on February 1 after the UK Gambling Commission officially awarded it the licence.
It is the first time it has changed hands since the National Lottery was founded almost 30 years ago.
Another woman is trying her best to claim her £800 win from the National Lottery but isn’t having much luck.
