A mystery EuroMillions winner has won a whopping £242,568.70 on The National Lottery.

The lucky man, known only as Mr K from Clwyd, matched the five main numbers and one Lucky Star number in the EuroMillions draw on Friday, December 23.

The lucky Clwyd local, who played a personal selection of sentimental numbers, 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: “What incredible news for Mr K for winning this fantastic prize! We hope he makes some amazing memories with his winnings! What a way to start the new year!”
