Surrey woman scoops £1m Lotto win on the National Lottery

The lucky lady, who matched five main numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on Saturday, May 31, is now planning a lovely holiday and is going to be living the dream by travelling first class, and, on a practical note, she will also be paying off her mortgage.

She admitted that the moment she realised she had won was a maelstrom of emotion.

She said: “I felt numb and then utter elation. This will make a huge difference to our lives.”

If holidaying is your thing, then look no further than the Lotto draw this Saturday (July 5).

There will be a life-changing £15m ‘must be won’ jackpot up for grabs, alongside the chance to win one of 15 luxury holidays to Italy for up to 10 people for anyone who buys two or more lines online.

Whether it’s a family getaway or a dream trip with friends, multiple unforgettable escapes are up for grabs.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of the National Lottery, said: “What incredible news for this lucky lady from Surrey.

“What a first class feeling it must have been for her to realise she’d just become a millionaire, and with a holiday and first class travel in the offing we’re delighted for our latest National Lottery winner.

“Bon voyage and huge congratulations!

“Speaking of relaxing holidays, Lotto players could be planning an exciting getaway themselves if they were to land one of the 15 luxury holidays to Italy in this Saturday’s incredible Lotto draw (July 5).

“That’s on top of the life-changing £15m ‘must be won’ jackpot that is also up for grabs.

“Make sure to get your tickets early for a chance at winning a big prize and a big adventure.”

The lucky numbers from the Lotto draw on May 31 were 8, 11, 12, 16, 20 and 33, and the bonus ball was 52, and the Surrey woman was not alone in becoming a Lotto millionaire that night as she was one of an incredible three players who scooped the same £1,000,000 prize in the draw.

In addition, one lucky ticket-holder walked away with the £3.9m Lotto jackpot that night too.
