A mysterious Lotto winner from Hampshire has become a millionaire without ever touching a ticket.
Known as Mr F, the lucky winner scooped the life-changing prize of £1m in the Lotto Millionaire Raffle draw on Christmas Eve.
Mr F, who is retired, plans to use his win to give gifts to his family.
He played Lotto online and has become one of more than six million players that win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Huge congratulations to Mr F for winning this fantastic prize without even touching a ticket, after a few simple clicks he has become a millionaire."
Interactive winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or like this winner, release some details through partial publicity.
