THIRTY-four staff at an East Lancashire care home have had a wonderful pre-Christmas surprise.

Together they scooped a £1million prize just three weeks before Christmas Day.

They’ve each won around £30,000.

It might not mean they can quit their jobs and live the life of luxury. But the cash will still have a massive impact on their lives.

Everyone dreams of what they would do if they scooped the jackpot.

And many of the workers at Willowbank Nursing Home in Burnley can now make their dreams come true.

Plans for holidays to the Caribbean or to Thailand are being made and home improvement schemes are being thought up by the group.

They have been extremely lucky.

Not only have they won big but they had also only been in the syndicate for 12 weeks.

There must be work-based lottery syndicates all over East Lancashire that are green with envy!
