Winter 'Big Postcode Rollover' - G73 1AA Rutherglen - 06/12/09

Rutherglen today pulled the biggest of Christmas crackers as the 'Big Postcode Rollover' sprinkled the most magical of festive cheer across the G73 1 postcode sector courtesy of Scotland's own charity lottery.

Festive spirit was present by the sack-full this Sunday, as Rutherglen residents flocked to the Big Postcode Rollover party, breath bated to discover how much they'd won in the People's Postcode Lottery's biggest ever prize pot of £1.998 million.

The event was held at Stonelaw High School, with chart topping entertainment and recession-busting cheques the order of the day. Not only was the crowd entertained by dancers, a visit from Santa but hit maker Chipmunk, as promised, "blew the crowds away", while revellers were treated to complimentary soup and hot drinks to keep the cold at bay.

Angus said: "What a wonderful boost just in time for Christmas. Rutherglen will be looking forward to an extremely prosperous New Year! The Big Postcode Rollover has been our largest prize pot ever and today has been simply fantastic. A huge thank you to everyone in Rutherglen who have helped us along our way. We couldn't have done it without you!"
