A mystery EuroMillions winner is treating his family to a new home after scooping £2,813,488.90 on The National Lottery.

Known only as Mr W from Rochester, the man matched the five main numbers and one Lucky Star number in the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday, February 23.

He played a Lucky Dip selection via the National Lottery website, and it came up trumps.

He plans to buy a new home and treat his family with the winnings.

Mr W is now one of more than eight million players who win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games.

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

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Huge congratulations to Mr W for winning this fantastic prize.

"He has become a millionaire overnight and can look forward to buying a new home and treating his family.”

The Kent winner's huge haul was a result of EuroMillions having reached a rollover cap. With the jackpot not having been won for several draws, lower prize tiers were boosted instead. Mr W was one of three UK winners of the same prize in the draw last month.

By playing any National Lottery game, players help to raise an average of £30m every week for National Lottery Good Causes across the UK.

The money helps support arts, community and charity, heritage, education, environment and the sport sectors – everything from the local charity making a difference where you live through to helping our nation’s athletes win Olympic and Paralympic gold medals.

To date, more than £42bn has been raised and distributed to National Lottery Good Causes through more than 625,000 individual grants.

Thanks to National Lottery players, up to £800m is being used by charities and organisations affected by the impact of the coronavirus outbreak across the communities, the arts, heritage and sport.

This includes up to £400m in funding support from the National Lottery Community Fund which is being used to help groups best placed to support people and communities through the crisis – from helping support food banks to causes that combat loneliness and isolation, support for the elderly and projects that aid health in the community.
