Hot August nights and sizzling National Lottery delights
The summer heat kept coming in August and so did the red hot National Lottery wins. An amazing 34 players became millionaires, including one very lucky player who won an astonishing £20Million jackpot in the Lotto Must Be Won draw on 6th August 2022.
Another Lotto player had an August to remember by scooping a £2Million jackpot in the 10th August draw. Oh, and no less than 15 more Lotto millionaires were made by 5 Main Numbers Plus the Bonus Ball draws held on 13th, 17th, 20th and 27th August respectively.
August was the month we met Glasgow dad Robert Cameron, 53, who won £1Million after matching 5 numbers and the Bonus Ball. Robert said, “I want people to know that anyone can win The National Lottery. You just need to buy a ticket and hope that the stars align like they did for me.” You can find out more about Robert’s amazing story here.
EuroMillions also served up some sizzling wins in August, creating no less than 9 UK millionaires. We met Telford’s Ruth Giblin, 44 and husband Rob, 48, who pocketed £1Million by playing EuroMillions and plan to share their windfall with their nearest and dearest. Find out more about Ruth and Rob's incredible win here.
Meanwhile, the Set For Life draw held on 1st August 2022, created not one, but 2 big winners who will each get £10,000 a month for 30 years.
We got a first-hand account of how exciting a Set For Life win is when we met Wakefield’s Suzy Fenton. The keen online gamer is looking forward to meeting pals in Canada and Texas after winning an amazing £10,000 every month for one year. Find out more about Suzy's game plan here.
Instant Win Games were cooking in August with one lucky player scooping £1.2Million on the 12 Months Richer game. We met another lucky Instant Win Game player, NHS worker Maxine Lloyd, 50, and her builder fiancé Wayne, 57, who won the £1Million top prize on The National Lottery’s £30Million Mega Cash Showdown. Find out how the Kettering couple are planning to celebrate.
Last, but by no means least, National Lottery Scratchcards created some hot August nights (and plenty of steamy August days). 4 lucky players won prizes of £1Million and a fifth ‘Scratchcarder’ won a jaw-dropping prize of £100,000 a month for a year (that’s a cool total of £1.2Million, folks).
