Lottery jackpot for Lancing hairdressers

A group of hairdressers from the Mayfair Hair Salon, in Crabtree Lane,

Lancing, each won a share of the top Thunderball prize on Saturday, March 31.

But salon owner and syndicate leader Jean Rolls had a hard time convincing her colleagues they had won, after checking the numbers in the early hours of Sunday, April 1.

Jean, 59, explained: "I couldn't wait until the morning to call them, but when I told them that we had won they didn't believe me.

"They thought I was playing a joke on them because it was April Fools'

Day '“ one of the girls hung up on me twice before she realised I was telling the truth."
