The woman, known only as Mrs S, won the money after matching the five main numbers in the Set For Life draw on Thursday, February 20.
She now plans to use the money for home improvements.
The lucky Lewisham lady, who played a personal selection of random numbers via the National Lottery website, has become one of more than nine million players that win each week on the National Lottery’s range of games.
Interactive winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or, like this winner, release some details through partial publicity.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of the National Lottery, said: “Amazing.
“What wonderful news for Mrs S who has won £10k every month for an entire year.
“We hope she enjoys making her home improvements with her extra money in the bank each month.
“Huge congratulations.”
