A lottery winner known as Mr. C from Lancashire because interactive winners can release their name, remain anonymous or release a few details with partial publicity, has won £442,168 without ever having a ticket. He matched his five numbers and the bonus ball on the July 23rd drawing. He now joins the interactive winners' club and it one of over three million online members that are registered to play in the UK National Lottery.

The UK National Lottery is the world's most successful interactive lottery because users can register by mail or phone. Another reason for the success is there are no paper tickets to lose and you don't have to check the numbers. You can simply play online and pay by a continuous Direct Debit so you will always have your lucky numbers in the drawing.

A spokesperson from the National Lottery said: "Many congratulations to Mr C, he has become a winner by barely lifting a finger; in fact he need not have got out of bed to win this massive prize. If you play by subscription, it couldn't be any easier – we not only check your numbers for you but even let you know if you've won. If you decide to set up your subscription online, it literally only takes five minutes and then we take care of the rest – you won't ever have to buy, or lose, another ticket again."
