EuroMillions: Surrey woman 'put her faith in the universe' to scoop £118k win

In purchasing her online ticket, she ‘put her faith in the universe’ and felt as if she knew she was going to win.

After receiving her life-changing prize money, she aims to live a little more stress-free saying that ‘winning the lottery has made me feel free’.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “What a life-altering moment this is for our winner.

“We know how much it means for EuroMillions prize winners to be able to clear their debts and enjoy financial freedom.

“We sincerely hope that they relish this moment and the relief it brings – huge congratulations.”

The Surrey local, who played online, has become one of over nine million players that win each week on the National Lottery’s range of games.

Interactive winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or like this winner, release some details through partial publicity.

Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk. They can also buy and check tickets in retail.

Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize.

You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you're a winner.

Playing any National Lottery game is more than just a chance to win; it's a way to contribute to something much bigger.

Each week, players help generate around £30 million for National Lottery-funded projects.

With over £50 billion raised for good causes since launch, this funds hundreds of projects in every postcode area across the UK.

From supporting the arts and sport sectors, to empowering local community groups and preserving iconic British landmarks, players' participation makes a difference every single day.
