National Lottery defends EuroMillions winners' choice to go public
19.05.2022 - 17:05 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The National Lottery has explained why some lottery winners decide to reveal their identities shortly after scooping the jackpot. A spokesperson for the firm said that going public can give the winner "peace of mind" and suggested that when winners reveal who they are, they're sometimes better able to enjoy their winnings as they no longer have to keep "such a big secret" from their loved ones.
The comments come just hours after the UK's biggest ever lottery winners were revealed. Joe and Jess Thwaite from Gloucester were the lucky duo to scoop the £184million jackpot when they won the EuroMillions lottery on May 10 with a Lucky Dip ticket they'd quickly purchased on the National Lottery App.
The pair broke the record for the highest amount of most won in a lottery game in the UK by more than £14 million and attended a press conference at Ellenborough Park hotel in Cheltenham to spill the beans on their incredible win.

Jess, who works as a business manager at a hair salon she runs with her sister, said: "The win gives us time to dream which we haven't had before. We’ve had one week to think about this and we now have time to share lots of experiences and go on adventures with our family and friends."
"My dad played the National Lottery all his life and constantly dreamed of winning," she added. "He'd always ask us what we'd do when we won, how we'd spend it, who we'd treat. It was a regular conversation and I feel like he was preparing us!"
Shortly after their identities were revealed, hundreds of people took to social media to share their Congratulations to the couple - or to remark their surprise at the winners going public.
