53 Hospital staff syndicate scooped a golden ticket worth £118k

Hospital staff lottery syndicate wins more than £100k on EuroMillions. The syndicate of 53 have scooped a golden ticket worth £118,041.10, the ticket matched 5 main numbers and 1 lucky star in the recent draw.

A lucky group of NHS workers are ecstatic after winning more than £100k in the EuroMillions lottery. Each member in the group will now take home just over £2.2k of winnings thanks to the 1 ticket, which was a bit of good fortune itself. Usually, the syndicate only buys tickets for the National lottery draw but because the EuroMillions jackpot was so high recently they decided to have an extra go.

The incredible jackpot on 8th October 2021 was an impressive £174,236,090 and the health workers came up winners by bagging the 2nd prize which was £118,041.10. The syndicate leader and pharmacy technician at Morriston Hospital in Swansea, Kim Owen, said: “We don’t always play EuroMillions but because the jackpot has been so high, we thought it was worth a try as the prizes would be big enough for us to share!

“I checked and double checked the numbers drawn on Friday night straight after the draw and I just couldn’t believe it, i was speechless. I had to ask my husband to triple check the ticket and as soon as I was sure it was true, I tried to call a few people in our group to share the good news. As it was late, no-one picked up, so I put it on the shared WhatsApp group instead.

“People were so excited and there were others, like me, who just couldn’t sleep so my phone was going off with messages throughout the night!” The syndicate is predominantly made up of staff in the pharmacy department at the hospital who are said to get on really well with each other and have given themselves the fitting nickname, “The Pharmily Crew,” according to online source.

After a challenging nearly 2 years working on the frontline especially during the pandemic, the EuroMillions win has helped lift all our syndicate members’ spirits, according to syndicate leader Kim.
