“Oh my God! That’s amazing!” the group leader said upon receiving the news.
“I’m welcoming this phone call!
“Do you know this ticket is a work syndicate? There’s seven of us. They’ll be over the moon!
“We’ve only been playing for three months. This will really boost team morale! That’s absolutely fantastic!”
The syndicate’s leader said the other members would use their win various ways, such as paying off mortgages, new cars and holidays.
