No - they've changed it to £1000.

Wow that's a good shot, has it been won before? I tend to look at that with the hell no of a compulsive miser lol.

Well done indeed

He had to wait whilst the footage was reviewed a few times, then they called a pair down from the office to go in the boat and check. Finally someone from the cash office came down with £1k.

The best part? The staff. The lad and the girl running the stall were genuinely made up for the guy.

They said it was won around 15 times last year - hence them probably changing it to £1000 instead of a car.

How?! Eveytime I walk past that I just think, "nah that's not possible, just another way for Merlin to make money off us"

Only problem with me is while I'm waiting for the money I would be twitching to run to the smiler!
