Overview
- Rose Tresadern, 80, and her children Barry and Julie were confirmed as the £1 million winners after their family syndicate matched five main numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on April 18.
- The numbers used were the combination Derek Tresadern chose years earlier: 1, 4, 12, 15 and 39 with bonus ball 48.
- The family kept playing Derek’s numbers as a weekly ritual after his death last year and say the win feels like a tribute to him.
- Rose says she will use her share to move into more accessible retirement accommodation because of mobility issues and to buy a new engagement ring in memory of Derek while her children have not yet decided how to spend their portions.
- Allwyn, the National Lottery operator, officially congratulated the trio and local reporting noted the win as a life-changing example of how Lotto prizes can reshape finances as the game prepares upcoming format changes to increase prize-creation.
