National Lottery player bags £100k in ‘instant’ win – ‘Fantastic news!’
A mystery man from North Yorkshire has scooped up an eye-watering £100,000 prize on the National Lottery.
The lucky winner – known only as Mr B – landed the substantial sum playing the Monopoly Gold Winter instant win game.
He has now become one of more than nine million players who win each week on the National Lottery’s range of games.
Mr B chose to remain partially anonymous, revealing just a few details about his windfall rather than going fully public with his identity.
The fortunate Yorkshireman has already made plans for his newfound wealth.
Mr B plans to use his winnings to purchase a new car.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “Wow, what fantastic news for Mr B, who is now £100,000 richer and can look forward to driving around in a lovely new car. Huge congratulations!”
Winners of National Lottery games have the choice to release their name publicly, remain completely anonymous, or opt for partial publicity as Mr B has done.
