A lottery win was just what the doctor ordered for 13 lucky hospital staff.
The mix of health care and catering workers at Redcar Primary Care Hospital successfully matched five numbers and the bonus ball during Saturday’s Lotto draw.
And while the £3,202.23 they each receive won’t change their lives, it will certainly be a healthy boost for their bank balances.
The syndicate was started five years ago by three workers, but only food assistant on Zetland ward, Lynne Ruff, remains from the original trio.
On the catering side - all OCS (Outsourced Client Solutions) staff - the winners were Lynne, catering manager Julie Goldsbrough, team leader Nick Bowden - whose winning numbers came up - food service assistants Gill Anderson, Barbara Harrison and Lynne’s 19-year-old granddaughter Tiffany Irwin, recently married kitchen porter Nathan Oakley, chef Denise Wheater and senior housekeeping supervisor Jayne Matthews.
Making up the syndicate are Zetland ward health care assistants Carol Maude, Debbie Barker, Jayne Canwell, Karen Rooney and Cindy Bayliss.
Lynne, 57, said: “I was phoning around people to tell them we’d won but they thought it was a wind-up.
“The syndicate only started off with three of us, but it has grown over the years and we’ll have even more now!
“Until this, we’d only won £25 all year and last year it was about £60 each.
“We all choose a line of numbers and it was Nick’s which came up, although I don’t think he even knows what his numbers are.
“A couple of the nurses are moving on soon, so it’s a nice leaving present for them.”
