A WEST Sussex man known as Mr G checked his e mails and discovered he was £134,081 richer for Easter.
The man, who asked for his town address to be withheld, scooped the jackpot by matching five numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw.
The success of Mr G last week comes a few months after a man known only as Mr B took home £51,309.80 on EuroMillions in August of last year.
Under the system both received a lucky email suggesting they check their account to receive "some exciting news."
Mr G was playing through one of The National Lottery's interactive channels – National-Lottery.co.uk, Sky Active and Play by Text.
Interactive winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or release some details with partial publicity.
Mr G made no comment about his win.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: "Many congratulations to Mr G, he has become a winner by barely lifting a finger; in fact he need not have got out of bed in order to win this massive prize. If you play interactively we not only check your numbers but we even let you know if you've won. Interactive play, at National-Lottery.co.uk, via Sky Active or with Play by Text, is becoming more and more popular because it is so simple and easy."
