A Hastings man has scooped one million pounds in a big National Lottery win.
The man, who is a carer, matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball in the The National Lottery EuroMillions Millionaire Maker Raffle draw on Saturday May 2 to become a millionaire.
The winner, a father in his mid-fifties who has not been named, said he had bought a ticket every week using family birthday dates, and will undertake home renovations now he has become a winner.
He said: “I got up in the morning and checked my Lotto ticket on the National Lottery app and then checked again as I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! This win will allow me to do the work I need to do to the house and gives me financial security for the future.”
Kathy Garrett, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “What wonderful news for our winner. Playing weekly has paid off, good luck with the house renovation.”
