“It was a bit of a shock really but a pleasant surprise,” says James Hall from Bembridge who has won £4000 on the Isle Of Wight Lottery. He’s been playing for five years and it’s the only lottery that James plays regularly.
“The main reason I play is because it helps support island small businesses and creates jobs. The money stays on the Island and that’s important to me. The beauty of the IW Lottery is that it comes out of my account every week.”
“I’m going to spend the money on a bit of everything really. I’m going to pay a few bills and it’s my grandson’s first birthday next month. My daughter is getting married next year so I’ll be able to help her out too.”
