“There’s been some amount of excitement around the place since word got out about the win,” he said.
“This is the biggest prize that we have ever sold, so it’s great news all round really – for the winner, the store and the area.
“While we do have a lot of locals who come into us, we do get passing trade and sure for the weekend that was in it with it being the May bank holiday, the winner really could be anywhere. Here’s hoping they check their ticket soon and claim their huge prize.”
