A MYSTERY EuroMillions winner, known only as Mr K, from Fife, has won £60,159.50 without ever touching a ticket. 

The lucky man matched the five main numbers and one Lucky Star in the EuroMillions draw on Friday, January 31 - and beat the winter blues by booking a holiday for himself and his family immediately!  

Mr K, who played a personal selection of birthday numbers through national-lottery.co.uk, has become one of more than eight million players that win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games.

As well as enjoying a family holiday, he also plans on buying a new home.  

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Huge congratulations to Mr K for winning this fantastic prize without even touching a ticket.

"After a few simple clicks, he has become a winner, jetting off on holiday to celebrate and now plans to buy a new home on his return.  

“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.”
