Family playing same lottery numbers

A Peterborough family, led by 87-year-old Audrey Cobb, has won a £1 million jackpot in the National Lottery after playing the same numbers since forming a syndicate at a Christmas gathering in 1994. Audrey's three children, David Cobb (67), Carol Nobbs (55), and Sandra Digby (60), will each receive £250,000 from the win, which was confirmed after David's wife Linda checked the National Lottery app. David expressed his joy at becoming the 'favourite big brother' when delivering the news, particularly noting the significance for Carol, who had faced housing difficulties. The family celebrated the win with a bike ride and shared the news through a group call, with Carol emotional over her newfound financial security. While the siblings have plans for their winnings, David and his mother are still contemplating their next steps but prioritize family benefits. David noted his unwavering belief that they would eventually win, stating, 'I’ve never been in any doubt.'
