Here we take a look back at some past lucky winners from Glasow and the rest of Scotland.

Glasgow lottery winners

Former farm worker Bill McKenna won £1.2million in 2012 which allowed him to retire from work. He said: “I’d probably still be working if I hadn’t won it. I’d still be there. It means you get to retire a few years early and you can do what you like.”

Arlene McCutcheon, a shop worker from Glasgow won £150,386 in October 2015.

Arlene's dad took her EuroMillions ticket home with him by accident and called on Halloween morning to see if he could check the numbers. He then called back with news of Arlene's win. "I really didn't believe him at first, I thought he was having me on. When he insisted he wasn't joking it all felt a bit surreal. I went straight over his house to check the numbers for myself then phoned the claim line."

A Glasgow man, known only as Mr. B, won Set for Life - £10,000 a month for a year on The National Lottery -after matching the five main numbers in September 2021.

In 2018 a syndicate of 15 nurses from Cleland Hospital in Motherwell won £1 million from the EuroMillions UK Millionaire maker draw. They took home £66,666 each.

A Lanarkshire man, simply known as Mr. R, who went through the process of partial publicity but chose to remain anonymous, won a total of £1,000,000 on January 28, 2023. The lucky gentleman plans to go on holiday and treat his family after winning big on the lotto from playing a selection of birthday numbers.
