Mystery Hampshire woman wins £1 million in lottery draw

The lucky EuroMillions player, known only as Miss W who works in the Healthcare profession, claimed her winnings in the UK Millionaire Maker draw on Friday December 7.

The woman, who won the prize after playing online at national-lottery.co.uk, has become one of over eight million players that win each week on the lottery's range of games.

After winning, Miss W's first purchase was to book a venue for her wedding. With the rest of her winnings she plans to pay for the rest of her wedding and travel worldwide.

Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at The National Lottery, said: '˜Huge congratulations to Miss W for winning this fantastic prize without even touching a ticket '“ after a few simple clicks she has become a millionaire. 

'˜With many people leading busy lives, playing online is becoming increasingly popular. It means you can make sure your lucky numbers are always in the draw and your ticket is always checked.'

Playing online is growing in popularity as numbers are automatically checked while people are notified they have won.

Interactive winners can release their name, remain anonymous or release some details through partial publicity.  

The National Lottery raises around £30m for projects every week.
