A dad-of-two from Chelmsford has become a millionaire after scooping £1,000,000 in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on Friday 6 June, 2025.
The lucky man in his thirties had just finished a round of golf with friends and was having a coffee after his round when an email came through from The National Lottery asking him to log into his account as there was news about a win. He couldn’t believe what
he was seeing when he did log in so asked his golfing buddies to double-check it for him.
The fortunate fella promptly teed off the celebrations with his family – a bottle of champagne and a takeaway! Summing up what the win means to him and his young family, he said, “We feel incredibly lucky and fortunate to have had this win as it will secure
our financial future as a family.”
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, congratulated the mysterious millionaire, saying, “Wow – it is absolutely incredible how this lucky man from Chelmsford has become a millionaire overnight. What a life-changing
moment on the golf course it must have been for him when he realised he was now £1M richer! That feeling has got to be even better than a hole-in-one!
“We know how much this win means to this EuroMillions player and, importantly, to his whole family and his two young children. We wish him and his family all the very best. Huge congratulations!”
