Baubles and bubbles for our big December winners

For the 28 players who became National Lottery millionaires in December, 2021, it must have been a very merry Christmas indeed.

Lotto made a total of 7 millionaires in December. We met Terry Kennedy, a builder from Barnsley, who banked £1MMillion on a very lucky Lotto Lucky Dip. Terry, 28, and his partner Kay, 25, are usually EuroMillions players, but they decided to grab a Lotto ticket when they visited a local shop on a Saturday. A video of the amazing moment Terry learned he’d won £1MMillion went viral and you can see it here.

Winter wins don’t get more Christmassy than the prize scooped by Paul McDonald from Bexhill. He discovered he’d become a Lotto millionaire after keeping a promise to his youngest daughter to decorate the house with Christmas lights. Read about his whopping £1,063,516 win.

Meanwhile, EuroMillions caught the festive spirit by creating 18 new UK millionaires in December. And a very lucky Set For Life player scored a top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years.

Thunderball rumbled into action with 2 top prize winners each landing an amazing £500,000.

Meanwhile, Instant Win Games delivered plenty of festive fun as a lucky player won £100,000 and 2 more won £300,000 each.

We met Kent wordsmiths Louisa Tomlinson, 57, and her 62-year-old husband Greg, who won the £300,000 top prize on a Scrabble Cashword Scratchcard. Read about how they swept the board.

Meanwhile, another Scratchcard had a Scottish grandmother feeling ‘wheely’ great after she won £30,000 and a brand new BMW X2 car. Hannah Dewar – known to family and friends as ‘Val’ – bought the Cars & Cash National Lottery Scratchcard to cheer herself up after a visit to the dentist. Read the ‘tooth’ about her amazing win.
