A MYSTERY Lotto winner, known only as Mr G from Poole, has become just over £75,000 richer without ever touching a ticket.
The lucky man scooped the 'life-enhancing' prize of £77,964 by matching five main numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on September 8.
Mr. G, who chose his lucky numbers via a Lucky Dip, has indicated that he’ll be moving home and going on holiday with his winnings.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Huge congratulations to Mr G for winning this fantastic prize without even touching a ticket – after a few simple clicks he has become over £77,000 better off!
“With many people leading busy lives, playing online is becoming increasingly popular. It means you can make sure your lucky numbers are always in the draw and your ticket is always checked.”
Last week the winner of a £1m Lotto ticket bought in Bournemouth claimed their prize.
