The Institution's Head of Fund Raising Anthony Oliver, pictured behind the trio, believes it was the first time a lottery winner had received their first prize in person.

Gemma was appearing in 'South Pacific' at the Bournemouth Pavilion and the winning couple were also invited to a performance and to meet the cast after the show.
