Lotto winners still working at Tesco

Ten Tesco staff have won £7.5million on the Lottery - but decided to carry on working.

The women, who work at a store in Sudbury, Suffolk, had one of the two winning tickets to share Saturday's £15 million jackpot.

They have each won a £750,000 share, reports The Sun.

A spokeswoman for Tesco said: "We obviously want to congratulate them on their good fortune. It's marvellous.

"It's too early to say if any of them is planning to resign. All I can say is that they've all turned up for work again."

The staff have been in the syndicate for nine years. The winning numbers were: 6, 26, 28, 35, 42 and 43.

A store insider said: "It is easy to tell who they are - they are the ones with huge grins on their faces!

"Most of them are women who don't earn much so this win is going to make a really big difference to their lives. The prize could not have been won by a more down-to-earth group of people. They are all hard workers who really deserve it."

It is not known if the syndicate bought the winning ticket at their store.
