News on 15 Dec 2009

According to the BBC this week, a mystery lottery winner from Wales is the latest mega-winner on the UK National Lottery, scooping nearly GBP 850 000 without even touching a ticket.
National Lottery operator Camelot said the man, known only as Mr F from Powys, played the game interactively – either via the web or by text.
He matched all six numbers in the Lotto on 14 November.
A National Lottery spokeswoman said Mr F “banked this fantastic prize with just a few simple clicks – he didn’t even have to pick up a ticket.”
