The National Lottery has named Birmingham as “the luckiest place to live” in the UK with the city topping its list of millionaire winners.
Since The National Lottery began in 1994, it has created 205 millionaires in Birmingham, which equates to one every seven weeks, and in the last three years alone, 35 millionaires have won in the area.
To celebrate, Kathy Garrett, who is regarded as The National Lottery’s ‘fairy godmother’ and is the person who hands out prizes to winners, met with Birmingham-based Celeste Coles, one the city’s most recent winners, in the Secret Garden at the Library of Birmingham.
