Mr and Mrs Cowan of Lanarkshire scooped first prize in the Winter 2009 Lifeboat Lottery and met the staff and volunteers of Troon Lifeboat Station when they picked up their prize of £5,000.

Mr Cowan says: ‘It’s all very exciting. We enter because the money helps to save lives at sea and this is the first time we have won something. We had such a warm welcome at Troon and were very impressed with the technology onboard both the lifeboats.’

2nd prize: £2,000, Mrs B Rose, Surrey
3rd prize: £500, Mr W Logan, Morayshire
4th prize: £250, Mr JA Rae, Perthshire
