Mr. B Becomes a EuroMillions Millionaire
A mystery EuroMillions winner, known only as Mr. B from Devon, has become a millionaire after scooping a whopping £1,000,000.00 prize in the special EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on Friday 13 August.
With every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket and a millionaire is created in every draw. But the special draw on the ‘unlucky’ date in the calendar saw 13 lucky UK millionaires made in one night.
The Devon local has become one of over 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.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Massive congratulations to Mr. B for becoming a millionaire overnight! He is one of 13 lucky winners who banked £1M in our special Friday 13th EuroMillions draw. Far from being unlucky, Friday 13th has proven to be very lucky indeed for Mr. B!

Thanks to National Lottery players, over £1.2BN is being used by charities and organisations affected by the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, which includes over £600M in funding support from the National Lottery Community Fund which is being used to help groups best placed to support people and communities through the crisis.
