A mystery winner only known as ‘Mrs C’ from Kent has won a life-changing £500,000 overnight.

She was one of two winners, joining ‘Mrs H' from Sheffield to scoop the top Thunderball prize in the National Lottery draw on Saturday, December 9.

Mrs C says she plans to buy a new home with her winnings and go on a nice holiday.

She won by playing a lucky dip selection of numbers through the National Lottery app.

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

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Huge congratulations to Mrs C for winning this fantastic prize.

“She can look forward to buying a new home and going on holiday, after becoming half a million pounds richer overnight.”

Players can buy tickets in retail outlets, play online, or by downloading the National Lottery app.
