Three fathers from London have celebrated life-changing National Lottery wins totalling £720,000 between 12 November 2025, and 15 January 2026.
A hardworking father of two won £100,000 on the Monopoly Gold scratchcard on Wednesday 12 November 2025 after going online to check his National Lottery account and deciding to have a flutter on an instant win game. The winner said, “This win will make a big difference. I can be debt free and have some savings, it will give me some financial security, which is amazing.”
A second London man won £10,000 per month for one year on The National Lottery Set for Life draw on Thursday 15 January 2026. The winner, who always plays the same numbers chosen at random, added: “I’m still in disbelief. This is really going to enhance our lives; I now have the time and the money to do some lovely things and go on holiday with my family.”
A third father from London scooped £500,000 on The National Lottery Thunderball draw on Saturday 22 November 2025. He plays once in a while and buys a full suite of games when feeling lucky. He said, “This is a life-changing amount of money. I’d always wished I would win and had been dreaming about what I would. I can now do all the things I’d thought about and spoil my family!”
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, congratulated the three London winners, saying, “What fantastic news for our three London winners! £720,000 in prizes is absolutely wonderful, and they can all look forward to holidays, family celebrations, and greater financial security.”
