A group of three friends who created a syndicate while at college won £1million from a special EuroMillions draw last month.
Alex Gwynne, 28, Dan Phillips, 25, and Kyle Bowen, 25, started playing six years ago when a group in the year above them at Coleg y Cymoedd won £5,000 on The National Lottery.
At the time, their lecturer joked that the trio should start their own syndicate, which they did, and they have been playing together ever since.
