Mystery Surrey man scoops £10k a month National Lottery win

The man, known only as Mr T, has won £10,000 a month for one year after matching the five main numbers in the Set For Life draw on Monday, January 27.

He plans to use his winnings to travel and see his family who live abroad.

The lucky Surrey local, who played a personal selection of sentimental numbers, 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.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of the National Lottery, said: “Wow, what incredible news for Mr T who has won £10k every month for an entire year!

“We hope he has a great time visiting his family abroad. Huge congratulations!”
