Saddleworth couple wins £10k monthly lottery prize

Denby and Sam Sinclair from Diggle, Saddleworth, have won £10,000 a month for a year playing National Lottery Set for Life. Denby, 58, bought a lucky dip ticket with leftover wages and discovered the win while Sam was staying on their boat in Conwy. The couple, who have four children and three grandchildren, plan to fulfil their bucket list including sailing off the Greek coast. They have already treated family and friends, and while they work in sales, they plan to retire early after some serious planning. The win came from matching five balls, missing the Life Ball which would have extended the prize to 30 years.
