A Newcastle man is still in disbelief after winning £1 million on The National Lottery. The anonymous winner bought a Lucky Dip ticket for the March 18 Lotto draw but “never expected to win”.
But after matching five numbers and the bonus ball, he has started planning for his future and intends to use his winnings to get on the property ladder.
Speaking on his win, he said: “I never expected to win, so I’m just trying to get my head around it all! I plan to take all the support provided to make sure that my future is secure.”
Abbie Suddick, Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, congratulated the prize winner. She said: “Congratulations to our mystery winner, you never know when it could be you! We wish you many happy memories in your new home!”
