A pub lottery syndicate is celebrating a £4.5million win.
The nine members of the syndicate, who are all regulars at the Doon Inn in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, matched six numbers in the Lotto on Saturday.
The group won £4,525,058, meaning each will receive around £500,000.
Speaking at a news conference in Glasgow, one of the winners, Sandy Morton who put on the lucky dip ticket said: "We were in the pub I had the ticket with me and the lottery came up at ten past nine, I got a beer mat out and wrote the numbers down - which I thought were the numbers - and I said 'we've got five numbers' there is 22 and there is 32, we've been unlucky.
"Then a friend came up and said 'the other number is 32,' I said ' well, we've got six then' I said get it up on the teletext, and it was party time."
