A Norfolk woman who won a similar cash prize this time last year decided to spend her winnings on something much more unusual.
The woman, known only as Mrs G, won £1m after matching five main numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on April 13, 2024.
In an unusual move, the woman decided to splash her cash on a lawnmower as her first purchase.
However, she did say she has bigger ambitions to buy a bungalow.

Lottery winners have the opportunity to release their names, remain anonymous or like Mrs R and Mrs G, release some details through partial publicity.
Mrs G’s lawnmower purchase was more outlandish than HGV driver Lee Kuchczynski's, from Kendal, Cumbria, who bought a £17 backscratcher after winning a EuroMillions draw.
The National Lottery has awarded more than £95billion in prizes and created more than 7,400 millionaires since its launch in 1994.
