Weekly Lucky Dip players plan to move house, buy a new car, support the family, and enjoy wonderful holidays
A retired couple in their 60s from Hastings have won £1,000,000 on the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker Raffle draw on Tuesday 7 April 2026.
The couple are regular players who buy Lucky Dips for National Lottery games each week, always hoping that one day their patience would be rewarded. That day has now arrived in style. They plan to move house, buy a new car, help their family, and look forward to some wonderful holidays together.
One of the lucky winners said: “I still can’t get my head around the fact that I have won such a large sum of money. It is life-changing, not just for me, but also for my loved ones.”
Kathy Garrett, Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, congratulated the Hastings prize winners, saying: “The couples’ weekly Lucky Dip has paid off in the most spectacular fashion. We are absolutely delighted for them. Here’s to a new home, a new car, and many wonderful holidays ahead!”
Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk. They can also buy and check tickets in retail. Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize. You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you’re a winner.
Playing any National Lottery game is more than just a chance to win; it’s a way to contribute to something much bigger. Each week, players help generate around £33M for National Lottery-funded projects. With over £53BN raised for Good Causes since launch, this funds hundreds of projects in every postcode area across the UK. From supporting the arts and sport sectors, to empowering local community groups and preserving iconic British landmarks, players’ participation makes a difference every single day.
