A mystery woman, known only as Mrs. C from Essex, has won £1,000,000 on The National Lottery after matching the five main numbers and the Bonus Ball in the Lotto draw on Wednesday 26 February. Her first purchase after winning was a shopping trip for new makeup,
complete with a makeover in store. She also plans to use her winnings to go on holiday to the Caribbean.
And lucky Mrs. C wasn’t the only player to win big in the draw on Wednesday 26 February. The Lotto draw saw five players become millionaires, with three players sharing the £5.3M jackpot, taking home £1.7M each and another player, Mrs. P from South Yorkshire,
also matching the five main numbers and Bonus Ball and winning £1M.
The lucky Essex local has become one of over nine million players that win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games. Interactive winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or like this winner, release some details through
partial publicity.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said, “Amazing! What exciting news for Mrs. C who is now an overnight millionaire! We hope she enjoyed her new makeover and is looking forward to a fantastic trip to the Caribbean.
Huge congratulations!”
