TWO mystery EuroMillions winners from Hampshire with the same initials for their surnames have won the same life-changing prize, just weeks apart.

The two men, both known as Mr W, have become millionaires after scooping a whopping £1m prize each in two separate EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draws in January.

The first Mr W, who played a personal selection of random numbers via the National Lottery website, scooped the prize in the draw on Friday, January 12.

The lucky winner also banked an additional £4.30 after matching two main numbers and one Lucky Star number.

EuroMillions Millionaire Maker guarantees to create a millionaire in every draw but the special draw on Friday, January 12, saw 10 lucky UK millionaires made in one night. And lucky Mr W was one of those very lucky winners.

Just two weeks later, in the EuroMillions draw on Friday, January 26, another lucky Mr W banked the same £1m prize.

He plans to pay off his debts and book a holiday with his winnings.

These latest Hampshire winners have become two of more than eight million players that win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games.

Interactive winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or like these winners, release some details through partial publicity.
