A MYSTERY man, known only as Mr B from Bournemouth, has won £10,000 a month for a year on The National Lottery.

The lucky player won the life-changing prize by matching the five main numbers in the Set For Life draw on Thursday, April 29 and his first purchase was a celebratory takeaway.

He now also plans to go on holiday and make some home improvements with his winnings.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Huge congratulations to Mr B for winning this fantastic prize.

"After a few simple clicks, he can now look forward to receiving £10,000 every month for a whole year and having lots more takeaways in his newly improved home.

"We’re encouraging everyone to check their tickets online at national-lottery.co.uk or by downloading the National Lottery app, and to buy or check their tickets in retail in line with government guidance."

The lucky Bournemouth local, who played a Lucky Dip via the National Lottery website, 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.
