They were Margaret Howard, Lynn Daynes, Maureen Kilgannon and one other who has not been named.

Margaret said she couldn't believe it: "It's my good friend's 65th birthday next year, so we're going to have a trip to New York. We've been friends for decades – she's almost like family – so it's amazing I'll be able to treat her.

"I'm also just back from a lodge in Somerset with some friends which was fantastic, so the money will go to doing that again next year too."

Another winner Lynn said: "You never think you're going to win! It's fantastic because it's not just about you - my neighbours and friends have won too. It means the world to me."

But not everyone knows how they'll spend the money, Maureen Kilgannon is still deciding.

"We'd like to go on holiday now we have this money, but I haven't thought about where to. Perhaps we'll get another car too," she said.

Not everyone was in to receive their cheque from the presenter, but their prize money will be transferred to their bank.

Jeff Brazier, presenter, said: "I had a fantastic time meeting Margaret, Lynn, and Maureen - I think they were all quite shocked when they saw the cheques. I hope they all enjoy spending their winnings and treat themselves to something special."

The lottery is entered by paying £10 a month to be entered into every prize draw with 30% of the ticket prize going to charities and local causes, including Elmley Nature Reserve which was given almost £2,000 last year to install solar panels.
