EastEnders star lands lottery jackpot on scratchcard in major 'who won it' storyline

A familiar face scoops a seven-figure sum on a scratchcard - the perfect feel-good storyline after the murder of Lucy and the drug death of Nick Cotton

Now that the EastEnders Lucy Beale “whodunnit” has finally been solved, the next big question is – who won it?

A new storyline will see a familiar face on the BBC soap scoop a seven-figure sum on a lottery scratchcard.

In an episode to be aired in eight-12 weeks’ time, the winner will hold a big celebration in the Queen Vic.

He or she – the Sunday Mirror won’t identify them to save spoiling viewers’ enjoyment – will be seen trying to buy the famous Walford pub.

But will they be able to convince hardman landlord Mick Carter – played by Danny Dyer – to sell?

Soap insiders claim that if not, the winner could move to the aptly-named Gold Coast in Australia.

Sources say the lottery win is the perfect feel-good storyline after the murder of Lucy and the drug death of Nick Cotton.

A source said: “The winner has had their ups and downs but is a popular character. Viewers won’t begrudge them their good fortune.”

But just who is the lucky winner?

Could it be jailbird Dot Cotton? Perhaps she would then be able to launch a prison cell bid to buy the launderette.

Or maybe it will be Kat or Alfie Moon. It could be just what the warring couple need to mend their on-off relationship.


Alternatively, failed businessman Ian Beale could be in the running. It might help him buy his killer son Bobby a new identity.

A win for Sonia Fowler or Tina Carter would certainly help to inflame their new passion.

Or maybe it will put a smile on grumpy Phil Mitchell’s face after he lost his garage business thanks to gullible son Ben.

And it may be a barking idea, but it could even be Mick Carter’s beloved bulldog Lady Di.

After all, every dog has its day.

EastEnders is set to air a new storyline that will see one resident of Albert Square win a life-changing amount of money.

One lucky character will win a seven-figure sum on a scratchcard and will throw a huge party at the Queen Vic to celebrate, The Mirror exclusively reveals.

The winner will also reportedly be seen trying to convince Mick Carter - played by Danny Dyer - to sell them the pub.

Speaking to the newspaper, a source said: "the winner has had their ups and downs but is a popular character. Viewers won't begrudge them their good fortune."

A number of characters have been put forward as the potential winners-to-be, including Phil Mitchell, Ian Beale, Kat and Alfie Moon and Dot Cotton.

The planned storyline has been hailed as the perfect light relief piece following the darker storylines that have aired in recent months, including the 'Who Killed Lucy Beale?' murder investigation and Nick Cotton's death from a bad heroin batch as his mother Dot looked on.

The winner will be revealed in scenes set to air later this year.

Life changing? If it's Roxy she'll spend it all in about five minutes and be back where she started, however much it is.

[Perdita]

I like to think that this amount of money would change everybody's life ... if for 5 minute spending spree or for years to come ... my guess is it will be Phil so he can continue to bully his way around the square ...

[inkyskin]

I'd love it to be billy.

[maidmarian]

Im just hoping its not Alfie Moon!!

I was pleased when it was said they would
resolve Kats past history re Harry and it
started off well and Im still hopeful but
Im sure Ive read that they are taking Kat &
Alfie back to their beginnings so they can
start again(presumably to re-unite)

I hope this is not so as she was a more
interesting character before she became
involved with him. They do have children
together and generally I believe people
should make an extra effort to save a marriage
if they have children( but not always possible
or advisable!)

If Alfie Moon gets the money he will be even
more unbearable( to me at least)

[maidmarian]

I'd love it to be billy.

Billy was who first came to mind when I read about this storyline. He needs to be taken in a completely new direction to become interesting, and he's certainly deserving of some luck!


If Alfie Moon gets the money he will be even
more unbearable( to me at least)

Me too! I nearly always record the soaps to watch later so if Alfie gets any worse I can see myself fast forwarding through his scenes. I really don't enjoy watching him and much prefer him and Kat apart. She should never forgive him for the arson in my opinion.

[chartreuse]

I think it will be Alfie. For me he fits best. People would not begrudge him his good luck, well loved character, it would follow that having won some money he would try to buy back the Vic - that is where he was happy with Kat and he has relations in Australia should the purchase of the Vic not happen.

[lizann]

yes let it be billy

[Dazzle]

I think it will be Alfie. For me he fits best. People would not begrudge him his good luck, well loved character...

Believe me there are lots of viewers who'd begrudge Alfie good luck - myself and MaidMarian for starters! :D

[maidmarian]

Believe me there are lots of viewers who'd begrudge Alfie good luck - myself and MaidMarian for starters! :D

yes definitely! However Chartreuse did cheer me
up with the mention of Australia. Id forgotten
about that possibility!!

There are several residents who.havent had
easy lives financially and in other ways and
would probably help their families and friends.
Any one of those would be preferable to
Alfie Moon!!

I dont think committing arson without thought
for your family and home could possibly
qualify anyone to be popular- and thats what
the winner is meant to be - per publicity

[maidmarian]

[flappinfanny]

I hope it is Alfie and he leaves and goes to oz, he should fit in well with the other convicts. :D

I hope Kat tells him to bugger off and leave her alone, perhaps giving her a wod to help her and the kids as they stay in Walford.

I wouldn't mind Alfie winning if he gives most of it to Kat and the boys and goes to live in Australia - permanently!

I want it to be Billy too

[parkerman]

If only Winston was still around, I'd vote for him....

[parkerman]

Didn't Big Ron win a big lottery prize once and move to Spain....to cover up the fact the actor had died?

[lizann]

If only Winston was still around, I'd vote for him....

winston and tracey as a couple king and queen of pub and market own everything power couple

[owenlee4me]

If someone is going to buy the vic then got to be a Character who can be a main part, doubt it would be someone who has had the Vic already?
I think Ian Beale would love to LORD it over everyone, Yea Ian

[xx_Dan_xx]

Probaly going to be Kat and Alfie, they winn and so they try to buy the pub but are unsuccessful as Carters dont want to sell so they move to Ireland for their spin-off. Makes sense as they don't have money to move away and start a new life so where is this money they're supposedly going to have.

[Perdita]

Pretty much to be expected that Alfie and Kat would win the lottery ... will they come back from Ireland broke after doing a Spend Spend Spend??? ....

[lizann]

should have been someone else anyone else

They should buy a house

[maidmarian]

They should buy a house

But not in the square!
Or if it is-only as"holiday home" for Kat
and children.
Other times the new & long lost relatives
( which keep appearing).could stay there.

I think.I have read recently tho- that a house
in the Square - similar size and location-
could cost £1 million!!!

I'd imagine they'd give Stacey some of it and if she is staying, perhaps big changes are ahead for her.

They could perhaps buy their old burnt-out house at a knock-down price from the council and Stacey could live there whilst they're away (when it's been rebuilt). There's no sign of the council doing the work at the moment.
