A GWENT woman got lucky and became a millionaire overnight.
A mystery EuroMillions winner - known only as "Miss L from Gwent", has become a millionaire after scooping the whopping £1,000,000 Millionaire Maker prize in the EuroMillions draw last month.
The Gwent local – whose identity remains a mystery – played the Lucky Dip via the National Lottery website and is one of more than eight million players who win (varying amounts) on the range of National Lottery games each week.
Interactive winners can release their name, remain anonymous, or – like this winner – release some details through partial publicity.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Massive congratulations to Miss L for winning this fantastic prize.
“After a few simple clicks, she has become a millionaire overnight!”

Playing digitally (online or via the app) means tickets are checked automatically, with players getting an e-mail notification if they win a prize. The app also allows people to scan their ticket to check if they’re a winner.
