A mother-of-two from Newcastle has won a "life-changing" prize of £10,000 a month for a year in the Set For Life draw, after matching five main numbers in the National Lottery game. The win totals £120,000.
Lucky advice from her husband
The woman, who plays lottery games online but not usually Set For Life, decided to try it after winning £1 on Lotto. Her husband suggested she should give it a go, advice that proved fortunate for the whole family.
The winner, who is thinking about getting a new kitchen, said: "This is life-changing money for us, we can now do some lovely things. We'll be able to create memories with the family by having some great holidays."
Winner's joy and congratulations
Sharing her joy over the huge prize, she added: "It's the choice we have now that will make things so much easier. It's just fantastic!"
Kathy Garrett, Winners’ Experience Lead at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, said: "Congratulations to our lucky winner from the Newcastle area. What a wonderful bit of advice from her husband, off the back of a £1 Lotto win!"
Supporting good causes
Garrett added: "With a monthly boost for the year ahead, we're delighted she and her family can look forward to some special holidays together, and we wish them all the very best."
Playing National Lottery games contributes to good causes, with players helping to generate around £33 million for lottery funded projects each week. This work ranges from supporting arts and sport and empowering local communities, to preserving iconic landmarks.
