A lucky Premium Bonds player has scooped a £1m Christmas windfall.
The mystery woman is from Manchester, but hasn't been identified.
National Savings and Investments, the Treasury-backed organisation that issues bonds, has confirmed the woman is one of two million pound winners in the December 2020 draw.
The win makes her the fourth Premium Bonds million pound winner from Manchester.
December's second winner is a woman from south Gloucestershire.
"The first Bond number to be drawn was 398MV229074 and belongs to a woman from Manchester," said NS&I.
"She holds £30,010 in Premium Bonds and her winning Bond was purchased in June 2020.
"The win makes her the fourth Premium Bonds millionaire from Manchester."
Premium Bonds, a form of savings combined with a lottery, were first launched in 1956.
The more bonds owned, the more the chance of winning, with holders also able to withdraw their money at anytime.
More than three million prizes are paid out every month and numbers are generated completely at random.
All Premium Bonds prizes are free of UK Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.
In the December 2020 prize draw, a total of 2,868,182 prizes worth £82,460,250 will be paid out.
There were 98,952,302,605 Bond numbers eligible for the draw.
December, it appears, is a lucky month for Manchester in the Premium Bonds.
A man from Stockport scooped a cool £1m jackpot last year too.
