A mystery EuroMillions winner, known only as Mr W from Somerset, has become a millionaire after scooping a whopping £1,000,000 prize in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker on ctober 4.

The Somerset local played a random selection of numbers via a direct debit.

Winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or, like this winner, release some details through partial publicity. So it is not known where in the county the lucky winner is from.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Huge congratulations to Mr W who has become a millionaire overnight from lucky Somerset! He can now look forward to making amazing memories with his new-found fortune.”

Thanks to National Lottery players, more than £30M is generated each week for National Lottery-funded projects. This money helps support everything from the local charity making a difference where you live through to helping our nations’ athletes win medals at the Commonwealth Games. To date, over £46BN has been raised for National Lottery Good Causes, with more than 670,000 individual grants awarded.
