Mystery Northumberland man is 'Set For Life' after National Lottery win

A mystery man from Northumberland, known only as Mr. H, has won £10,000 a month for one year after matching the five main numbers in the Set For Life draw on Monday 26 August. He plans to use his winnings to pay off his mortgage.

The Northumberland local, who played a Lucky Dip via the National Lottery website, 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.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Wow, we are so excited for Mr. H, who can now look forward to being Set for Life and mortgage free. Congratulations!”
