A MYSTERY man from Gloucestershire has won £10,000 a month for a year on the National Lottery.

The man, known only as Mr K, has won £10,000 a month for a year matching the five main numbers in the Set For Life draw on Thursday, May 25.

The lucky winner, who is a carpenter, said he plans to buy a new home and go on a family holiday to Europe with his winnings.

The Gloucestershire local, who played a personal selection of sentimental numbers, has become one of over 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.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “What amazing news for Mr. K who can now look forward to receiving £10k a month for a year and buying his dream home. 

“There’s no better way to celebrate a win like this than with a holiday! Enjoy.”

This winner is separate from the mystery Stroud district winner of the £10K-a-month-for-30-years top prize, which is worth a total of £3.5 million.

It is understood that The National Lottery is still looking for that lucky ticket holder.

Set For Life is a draw-based game from The National Lottery. 

You pick five main numbers from 1 to 47, and one ‘Life Ball’ from 1 to 10, for the chance to win fixed prizes – with everything from the top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years, to the 2nd prize of £10,000 a month for one year and £5 for matching just two main numbers.

The Set For Life game costs £1.50 per line and is drawn every Monday and Thursday.

Thanks to National Lottery players, more than £30M is generated each week for National Lottery-funded projects. 

This money helps support everything from the local charity making a difference where you live through to helping our nations' athletes win medals at last summer’s Commonwealth Games.
