EuroMillions joy for Belfast man after scooping £111,000

A mystery EuroMillions winner from Belfast has won more than £111,000 in The National Lottery.

Known only as Mr W, from the south of the city, he banked £111,262.40 after matching the five main numbers in the EuroMillions draw on Friday August 23.

The Belfast local, who played a Lucky Dip, has become one of over eight 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.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: "Huge congratulations to Mr. W for winning this fantastic prize - he can look forward to making many memories in his new home with his new windfall.

"Players can buy tickets in retail outlets, play online at national-lottery.co.uk or by downloading the National Lottery app. Playing online via the website or app means that your ticket is automatically 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.

"Whether you have your own special numbers or prefer to play using a Lucky Dip like Mr. W did, national-lottery.co.uk makes playing simple and easy. By setting up an online National Lottery Direct Debit you can guarantee that you never miss out with the added bonus of having no ticket to worry about or numbers to check."

Thanks to National Lottery players, more than £30M is generated each week for National Lottery-funded projects. This money helps support everything from the local charity making a difference where you live through to helping our athletes win medals at this summer's Commonwealth Games.

To date, over £46BN has been raised for National Lottery Good Causes, with more than 670,000 individual grants awarded.

Players of all National Lottery games must be aged 18 or over.
