A MYSTERY EuroMillions winner from Cheshire has landed a £1m jackpot, it has been revealed. 

The lucky punter, known only as Mr. R from Cheshire, has become a millionaire after scooping the whopping £1,000,000 prize in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on Friday, December 1. 

The Cheshire local has become one of more than eight million players that win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games.

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

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Incredible news for Mr. R for winning this fantastic prize. He has become a millionaire overnight - congratulations!”

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

Thanks to National Lottery players, £30M is generated every week for National Lottery-funded projects.

This money helps fund projects across the nation, with more than 685,000 grants - supporting projects both big and small - having been made across the UK to date.
