Belfast woman 'wins £1m on the EuroMillions' in viral video clip

A Belfast woman has reportedly scooped £1million on the EuroMillions.

The viral social media video shows a woman on the phone with The National Lottery to claim her prize.

A man on the other end of the call says: "What game was it that you reckon you won on?" and she replies, "EuroMillions."

He replies: "Yeah, there is a win on the EuroMillions, you're correct, so congratulations... one million pounds", with cheers being heard in the background of the video.

The Belfast woman has not been named and the National Lottery were not able to confirm or deny a win.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: "Under our licence conditions, rules around winner anonymity are rigorous and unless a winner gives their prior written consent for publicity, we're unable to confirm or deny whether a person has won a National Lottery prize."

Northern Ireland has a track record of EuroMillions which included a mystery player from Belfast who won more than £111,000 in 2022.

Known only as Mr W, he banked £111,262.40 after matching the five main numbers in the EuroMillions draw on Friday August 23, 2022.

And previously, NI couple Frances and Patrick Connolly won around £115m in the EuroMillions in 2019.

They were unveiled as winners at a National Lottery reception at the Culloden Hotel.

At the time, Frances said: “This is a massive sum of money and we want it to have a huge impact on the lives of other people we know and love as well as on our family."

Frances had revealed she was “knitting” when Patrick checked the numbers online and how he “didn’t say anything, but just turned computer round”.
