The lucky lady plans to treat her family (and the dog!) with the win, including a new toothbrush and a new bed for the pup.

The Lancashire resident, who played a personal selection of sentimental numbers via the National Lottery website, 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, “What amazing news for Mrs. R after winning this fantastic prize. Her dog can look forward to sleeping sound in its new bed and her family can look forward to many more treats over the next 30 years!
