A MYSTERY woman from Dorset has won £1m on the lottery.

The woman, known only as Mrs D, scooped the UK Millionaire Maker prize in a special EuroMillions draw on Friday, April 30 and now plans to pay off her mortgage.

She was one of 10 lucky players to win £1m in the same draw.

For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a UK Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket.

Mrs D has become one of over eight million players that win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Huge congratulations to Mrs. D for winning this fantastic prize. She has become a millionaire overnight and can now look forward to living mortgage free.
