Additionally, 4896 players matched four numbers, winning £140 each, with numerous other players receiving smaller prizes.
An elderly grandmother achieved a remarkable milestone by winning £1 million in a Lotto draw in April, playing numbers selected by her late husband years ago. Rose Tresadern, an 80-year-old retired office manager from Southend-on-Sea in Essex, expressed that it felt like her late husband, Derek Tresadern, was still watching over them. Derek passed away at the age of 83 following an illness shortly after the couple celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary.
Rose, along with her children Barry Tresadern, 52, and Julie Tresadern, 57, made the decision to continue playing Derek’s Lotto numbers every week in their family syndicate. Their persistence paid off when they matched five of the six main numbers plus the bonus ball in the April 18 draw.
Rose plans to utilize some of her share of the £1 million winnings to move to a retirement facility better suited to her mobility requirements and to purchase a new ring as a memento of her late husband.
