Overview
- The 80‑member 'On the Buses' syndicate of current and former National Express Yardley Wood drivers matched five main numbers plus one Lucky Star to win £108,510.50 and will divide the money equally among members.
- The winning ticket was bought by syndicate organiser Dennis Houghton while on holiday at Geralds Supermarket in Dawlish Warren and he discovered the prize using the National Lottery app.
- Houghton, 73, has run the pool since about 2009 and manages plays by drawing numbers from a jar and posting a photo of each ticket to the group's Facebook page to keep records and ensure transparency.
- Members say they plan modest spending such as holidays and home improvements and have celebrated together, with Houghton joking their manager was relieved they did not win a larger jackpot that might have affected staffing.
- The 5+1 EuroMillions result is a sizable non‑jackpot prize and was one of two UK tickets to match that combination on May 22, 2026, illustrating how workplace syndicates boost coverage and spread winnings across many people.
