“I just thought I was in a dream, or seeing things. I kept touching my computer screen thinking this just cannot be right,” Craig said.

“Everyone always dreams of winning the lottery and we obviously all hoped that our dreams would come true but I don’t think any of us really believed it would happen to us. It is something which always happens to other people.

“We actually only started the syndicate two weeks ago after hearing about a big rollover. We decided you have got to be in it to win it so we went for it. And we are so glad we did.”
