A semi-retired man from the Reading area has scooped £1,000,000 in the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker draw on Friday 23 May after buying a ticket in store.
The lucky Reading local has played The National Lottery for several years and has now won £1M on EuroMillions Millionaire Maker. For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket which creates a millionaire in every draw. He planned to go out and celebrate the win over a nice meal once the money had landed in his account.
Summing up the moment he found out he won, he said: “I checked my ticket on the app and was shocked when I saw that I had won the Millionaire Maker prize. It’s fantastic news!”
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, congratulated the mysterious millionaire and said: “Amazing, what an incredible win for this lucky man from the Reading area! What a life-changing moment it must have been for him when he realised that he is now £1M richer! We hope he enjoyed his celebratory meal. Huge congratulations!”
