Mystery woman from Sussex celebrates £1 million EuroMillions win
A mystery woman, known only as Mrs J from Sussex, has landed a fantastic £1 million prize in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on Friday, November 22.
She also won an additional £2.60 in the draw, and she plans to use her winnings to buy a new home.

“She can now look forward to buying a new home with her winnings. Huge congratulations!”
