A mystery Co Antrim man is celebrating after winning £662,000 on the EuroMillions without ever touching a ticket.
The winner, known only as Mr O, played a personal selection of random numbers through the website and now is celebrating the £662,362.50 windfall from the EuroMillions draw on June 25.
He matched the five main numbers and has become one of over eight million players that win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games.
His first purchase after winning was an exciting holiday for the family.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery , said: "Huge congratulations to Mr. O for winning this fantastic prize without even touching a ticket. After a few simple clicks he has become a winner – his family can now look forward to a few treats coming their way!
"With many people leading busy lives, playing online is becoming increasingly popular. It means you can make sure your lucky numbers are always in the draw and your ticket is always checked.
"Playing interactively couldn’t be easier; not only are your numbers checked for you but you are also notified when you have won, receiving the good news via an email that is delivered directly into your inbox.
"Interactive winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or like this winner, release some details through partial publicity."
