A MYSTERY winner from Hampshire has become an instant winner after scooping £300,000 in the National Lottery.

The woman, known only as Mrs J, won the top prize on the 'Cashword Multiplier’ Instant Win Game from The National Lottery.

The lucky winner will be starting 2022 off with a bang as she plans to use the money to save for the future.

The local woman has become one of eight million players that win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games. Interactive winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or like this winner, release some details through partial publicity.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Huge congratulations to Mrs. J who’s 2022 looks a lot brighter! After just a few clicks she can look forward to using her winnings to save for a fabulous future.”

Players can buy tickets in retail outlets, play online at national-lottery.co.uk, like Mrs J, or by downloading the National Lottery app. Playing online via the website or app means that your ticket is automatically 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.
