Lottery winner scoops £1m prize

Douglas firm player wins Aussie jackpot!

A Douglas company has hit the jackpot – with a million-pound win on the Australian lottery!

The Lottery Centre, which is based in Finch Road in Douglas, says one of its European players scooped 2.1 million Australian dollars, which is just over a million pounds sterling.

The new millionaire was playing the company’s lottery wheel game – which meant as well as the six-number jackpot he also won hundreds of lesser cash prizes.

A spokesman for the Lottery Centre, which allows players around the world to take part in draws across Europe, North America and Australia, said the winner will retain their complete anonymity.
