‘What an exciting start to the month! Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim tonight’s exciting jackpot prize.

‘By playing any National Lottery game, players generate £30,000,000 each week for National Lottery-funded projects.

‘This money helps fund projects across the nation, with over 685,000 grants – supporting projects both big and small – having been made across the UK to date.’

So check those tickets, as you could be the lucky winner. Of course, it is then up to the winner as to whether they want to make their identity known or not.
