The grand prize was an impressive £3 million divided between them, and a new one hour Channel 4 documentary, The Scottish Island That Won The Lottery, explores what happened next to the residents of the remote Scottish islands. Did the win change them at all?
How many islanders won the lottery on Scotland’s Outer Hebrides?
There were 101 islanders who shared the £3 million lottery win.
Two neighbours who had the full winning postcode won £193,055 each, with one of them, Pamela Macaskill, telling the Daily Mirror: “I’m just numb, my mouth is dry. I’m completely speechless. You just don’t believe it will ever happen. I mean, that’s massive, isn’t it? My palms have not stopped sweating.”
