Mystery 'Mr B' from Greater Manchester scoops £100k National Lottery win

A lottery player from Greater Manchester has scooped a massive £100,000.

The mystery winner, known only as Mr. B, bagged the top prize on the ‘Monopoly Gold’ Instant Win Game from The National Lottery.

Winners can choose to release their name, remain anonymous or – like this player – only release some details.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Huge congratulations to Mr. B for winning this fantastic prize - he has instantly become one hundred thousand pounds richer!

“We’re encouraging everyone to check their tickets online at national-lottery.co.uk or by downloading the National Lottery app, and to buy or check their tickets in retail in line with government guidance.

“Playing online via the website or app means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize. You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you're a winner.”
