The three mystery winners, known as Mr. G, Mrs. D and Mr. H, hit the jackpot in the span of just a few weeks.
Mr. G scooped £1,000,000 in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on Tuesday 10 October after playing a Lucky Dip.
The punter now plans to splash the cash on a new home, a car and go on holiday.
Mrs. D landed £1,000,000 the following day after matching five main numbers and the Bonus Ball in the Lotto draw.
But the Lotto luck didn’t stop there.
Mr. H also matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball in the Lotto draw on Saturday 21 October.
And the lucky punter now plans to invest his winnings for the future.
The lotto winners are part of over eight million players that win each week on The National Lottery games.
National Lottery Advisor Andy Carter said: “What incredible news for these three winners who have each won fantastic prizes, becoming millionaires overnight.
“Kent is proving to be a very lucky area for our players!”
Players can buy tickets in retail outlets or play online by downloading the National Lottery app.
Online punters can try their luck via the website or the app – where their ticket will be automatically checked.
Tickets available on The National Lottery website include draw-based games like Set For Life, EuroMillions, Lotto and Thunderball.
Successful winners will then get an email notification confirming the prize.
Punters can also scan their retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if they are a winner.
For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket – which creates a millionaire in every draw.
