LLANDUDNO has been named one of the luckiest places to live in Wales, based on the amount of millionaires the National Lottery has made in the town.
With more than 6,800 millionaires made since its launch in 1994, and £90billion in prize money paid out to lucky players across the UK, the National Lottery has made 389 millionaires in Wales.
There have been 58 new Welsh millionaires made in just the past three years, part of a huge band of 2,235 players in Wales who have banked a National Lottery prize of more than £50,000.
The statistics, which include both publicity and non-publicity winners, reveal that in terms of millionaire making since its launch, the Llandudno area has placed third with 73 National Lottery millionaires, behind only Cardiff and Swansea.

Kathy Garrett, winners experience lead at the National Lottery, said: “Congratulations to each and every winner.
“I am fortunate enough to be there at the moment we confirm the win and pay the prize; that is the moment you can really see the difference a win will make to the lives of a winner and the people they care about.
“We travel to each and every corner of the country paying out big winners so I know there is luck around every corner in Wales and across the UK and just having a ticket means it could be you next. Hopefully I’ll see you soon.”
