A “mystery” man from Tayside has won more than £1 million on the National Lottery.

The man, who has only revealed himself as Mr W, scooped £1,009,730 after matching the five main numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on Saturday June 29.

The winner – whose exact location has also not been confirmed – has told Lottery organisers he plans to use the money to buy “treats” for his family.

The man is one of nine Lotto players to have won more than £1m in the Must Be Won draw.
