A workplace syndicate of 10 has scooped up £500K on The National Lottery Thunderball draw, matching five numbers plus the Thunderball.
The group of hospital workers has been operating for 10 years, with members planning to use their winnings to book holidays and upgrade flights.
The syndicate leader said: “We play lucky dip numbers every week and are so glad we have kept the syndicate going… winning was a euphoric feeling!
“This is going to make such a difference to the lives of hardworking people. Some of our members are planning to book holidays, or upgrade flights, and will be able to turn left on the plane instead of right!”
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, congratulated the Bournemouth-based prize winners, saying, “What wonderful news for our syndicate winners… 10 years of playing has really paid off! We hope they enjoy their well-deserved holidays and other treats!”
