A woman from Surrey has become £100,000 richer after scooping a top National Lottery prize.
The mystery winner, known only as Mrs E, managed to win the £100,000 prize after playing the National Lottery's "Jackpot Silver" Instant Win Game.
After winning the huge cash prize Mrs E has chosen to remain anonymous, hence her mysterious name.
But despite the secrecy, she did make it known that she planned to spend her new wealth on making some home improvements.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Huge congratulations to Mrs E for winning this fantastic prize. She has instantly become one £100,000 richer and can look forward to making some home improvements.
