One syndicate member described the moment they realied they were holding the winning ticket and how they would now keep the all-important ticket safe.

“I nearly fell off my chair when I realised we had won after we checked our ticket! Everyone was absolutely thrilled, but then the panic set in about keeping the ticket safe.

In the end, it was hidden away in their attic because none of us wanted to take any chances!"

The family now have a range of plans for their share of the prize, including a weekend away, a new car and helping loved ones.
