Dream Holiday For Lottery Winner

A care worker from Heathfield matched five numbers on a free Internet lottery and scooped £5,000.

Mike Norman of the High Street logged onto TheDailyDraw.com website "for a laugh" and is now looking forward to a luxury world trip.

Mike who works for the local care agencies hasn't had a break for two years and says a stash of cash in his rucksack will give him the holiday he's been dreaming of for months.

He said "The cash has come at a really good time for me as I was getting itchy feet and wanted to see a bit of the world and the money means I can do it in style. I won £25 on The Daily Draw a few weeks ago by matching four numbers and I'm so glad I kept on playing. My luck seems to be in at the moment so I'm going to see if I can win a million."

Mike is also entered into the free prize draw to win a weekend living the life of a millionaire.
