Victoria Brook sailed back home from her honeymoon to find she’d won a belated wedding present, courtesy of the Isle of Wight Lottery.
Victoria, from Sandown, was delighted to discover she was the first winner of the Lottery’s new £4000 top prize.
And having just enjoyed a Canary Islands cruise, Victoria had no problem deciding what to spend her winnings on: she will be enjoying an extra special holiday next year, too.
She signed up for the Isle of Wight Lottery when it began around 10 years ago, because she wants to support local business.
“That’s very important to me because I run my own business as a consultant for Cambridge Weight Plan,” she said. “And of course there is the added bonus you might win some money!”
Isle of Wight Lottery organisers have increased the amount of prize money, giving subscribers opportunities to win much more cash. There is now one weekly prize of £2,000, which changes to £4,000 on the last Wednesday of each month; £10,000 on the last Wednesday of July; and £10,000 on the last Wednesday of January 2013.
