By Becky Turner on Thursday, 23 Nov 2006 Two weeks after forming a lottery syndicate, workers at a pie factory in Shropshire won over £6.7 million between them last week.
As one of the seven winning tickets in the UK, each of the 33 members of the syndicate at the Palethorpes factory in Market Drayton took home £204,533.
Commenting on the group's jackpot joy to the Shropshire Star, Daryl Bowden, who organised the syndicate, said: "I was in disbelief when I found out we won and was completely numb, but now it has hit home."
Daryl and her husband, David, said they don't have any immediate plans to spend the money, while shift production manager Patricia Nash said she planned to pay off her mortgage, purchase a new car and go on safari in Africa.
However, manager of the factory, Lewis Macleod was not a member of the syndicate, but said he was "thrilled" for his colleagues, reports the Sun.
