Retired Tata Steel Colleagues Share £1m EuroMillions Payout

The seven-year office pool kept former Tata Steel colleagues in touch through £5 weekly entries.

Overview

  • The 15-member Port Talbot syndicate won after matching EuroMillionsUK-only Millionaire Maker code on Friday, February 27, 2026, using the National Lottery app.
  • The group formed seven years ago as a morale booster among office staff and kept it going in retirement with £5 each every week.
  • Each member will take an equal share, with plans that include clearing mortgages, fitting new kitchens, buying cars, helping family, and taking holidays.
  • Syndicate lead Paul Davy, 61, said a surprise app message confirmed the winning code, capping years of organizing draws and keeping the group connected.
  • The win has sparked a full-group reunion for the Port Talbot retirees, with named members including Gill Furlong, Christine Davies, Sally Wise, Julie Lambert, Allan Evans, Ian Howells, and Raja Prasad.
