A North East woman has won £1.2m on the National Lottery.
The winning ticket was bought in the Asda supermarket in Benton, North Tyneside.
The mystery winner was due to be unveiled at a Tyneside hotel later.
There has been a string of success for the region's Lotto players, with Newcastle taxi driver Bob Frazer winning £14.2m last year and Marion Richardson of Winlaton, Gateshead scooping £16.7m on the Euro Lottery in April this year.
