Vale produces two mystery millionaires

TWO mystery EuroMillions winners, known only as Mr C and Mr T and both from the Vale of Glamorgan, have become millionaires after winning on the National Lottery.

Lucky Mr C scooped a whopping £1m UK Millionaire Maker prize in the EuroMillions draw on Friday, November 4.

Just one week later, Mr T followed suit, scooping the same £1m prize in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on Friday, November 11.

Camelot, the National Lottery operator, said the Welsh county is “proving to be a very lucky area for our players”.

The two men didn’t want to be named after their wins, preferring to remain anonymous instead.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor for Camelot, said their wins were “incredible news”.

More than eight million players win each week on the National Lottery’s range of games.

Interactive winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or release some details through partial publicity.

For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket, creating a guaranteed UK millionaire in every draw.

However, Mr C was one of an incredible 20 guaranteed UK millionaires made in a special EuroMillions draw on November 4.

Thanks to National Lottery players, more than £30m is generated each week for National Lottery-funded projects. This money helps support everything from local charities to helping the nations’ athletes win medals at the Commonwealth Games.

To date, over £47bn has been raised for National Lottery Good Causes, with more than 670,000 individual grants awarded.
