“The National Lottery never communicates the details of the winner in order to safeguard anonymity,” says Joke Vermoere in a press release on Tuesday. “What we can tell you is that the winner has gone through the normal rollercoaster of emotions. The winner already inquired at our winner’s guidance how he/she could make anonymous donations to charities that are close to his heart through the notary.”
