Tariq Perwez is the first retailer to win a share of £50,000 through Camelot’s EuroMillions HotPicks incentive.
He bagged £5,000 from the scheme which will see 20 independent retailers win £1,000, two pick up five grand and one lucky winner scoop a whopping £20,000 jackpot.
Tariq, who has worked in his store in Cardiff for the last 38 years, said he was over the moon with his win.
“It’s still not really sunk in, I didn’t believe it at first,” he said. “I even tried to ring back to double-check!”
Retailers are still in with a chance of a Christmas treat, with the second £5,000 up for grabs in the Tuesday 19 December draw, along with five £1,000 prizes.
To enter, retailers should visit nationallotteryallstars.co.uk, where they will be able to learn more about EuroMillions HotPicks and find out how to take part in the incentive.
January 2018 will see another ten £1,000 winners and the bumper £20,000 prize awarded.
