Lottery syndicate face nervy wait to find out whether they’ve really scooped the jackpot
AS Kay Mellor’s lottery-based drama returns, this time it’s the workers at Woodvale Kennels who are hoping for a big win.

Her mum, played by Kym Marsh, is fuming when a debt collector bangs on the door wanting to know where the £425 is that Keeley owes.
And it’s her birthday. She just can’t catch a break.
With nothing in her bank account, Keeley needs to think of a way to get the cash and fast… and winning the lottery would certainly solve all her problems.
Of course she’s always in the market for a scratchcard or two, but there’s also the lottery syndicate that she has at work.
Down at the newsagents, run by bickering engaged couple Frank and Cheryl, played by Neil Morrissey and Gaynor Faye, she is absolutely stunned to find out the staff has won £500 on their latest lottery ticket.

And there are further revelations when the group realise their numbers might have won more than £500. Maybe even the £27million jackpot.
