HUSBAND and wife Paul and Linda Whittaker won two cracking prizes in the Lancashire Telegraph’s Bid-Lo competition.

The Accrington couple, who are both in their 40s, won a VIP trip to see Blackburn Rovers in February and a £5,500 bathroom vanity prize.

Mr Whittaker said: “I’m a Rovers season ticket holder so it’s fantastic. My wife was born in Burnley but isn’t a big football fan so she’s more than happy to go and watch Rovers.

“The date for the match is near to our wedding anniversary so I’m really pleased about that.

“We get a three-course meal, matchday parking and four tickets for the game. I’m not sure who else I’m going to take to the match yet though.”

The couple bid 4p for the Blackburn Rovers tickets, and won the bathroom prize for a single penny.

Mr Whittaker added: “We don’t normally enter competitions and we did not think we would win, so we are both really pleased. ”
