An East Yorkshire mum struck lucky one of the unluckiest days of the year in the EuroMillions draw. She won an incredible £1,000,000 through her EuroMillions Millionaire Maker Raffle code.
The woman in her 40s, who wishes to remain anonymous, was feeling lucky on what is typically considered an unlucky day – Friday 13 -and became an overnight millionaire in the draw last month. She now plans to donate to a charity close to her family.
Speaking on her win, she said: “It’s a scary but wonderful feeling. We’re going to take our time deciding what’s right for our family’s future.”
Abbie Suddick, Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “Who knew Friday 13 would prove so lucky for our mystery winner? Congratulations to her and her family, and all the best for your future plans.”
