Mystery Fife man scoops £10,000 a month for a year in lottery

A Fife man known only as Mr H has scooped a lottery prize of £10,000 a month for a year – without ever touching a ticket.

The lucky man, who is a painter and decorator, won his life-changing prize by matching the five main numbers in the ‘Set For Life’ draw on Thursday October 10.

He plans to buy a new car with his winnings.

Mr. H chose his lucky numbers via a Lucky Dip selection, and played Set For Life through national-lottery.co.uk and has become one of over eight million players that win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games.
