Salisbury woman wins £1million on EuroMillions

The woman, from Salisbury and in her 60s, won £1 million on The National Lottery EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on Friday 1 May 2026 after playing a Lucky Dip online.

She was drawn to play by a special Bank Holiday draw that guaranteed 10 new millionaires.

The winner said: “I’m amazed and still in total shock.

“After playing for all these years without a win, I never imagined this would happen to me.

“It was the special Bank Holiday draw that tempted me, and I’m so glad it did.

“Now my family and I have some wonderful things to look forward to.”

She is planning to take a family cruise and make improvements to her home.

Liz Styles, winners’ advisor at Allwyn, said: “Congratulations to our lucky Salisbury winner.

“What a way to celebrate her very first win.

“We wish her and her family a fantastic cruise and all the best with their home renovation.”
