Workington Reds' monthly draw handed out the biggest prize in its 16-year history when Bill Walker collected a cheque for £1,100.

Mr Walker, of Bransty, won the top rollover prize in July's monthly draw.

It's the biggest cash prize the monthly draw has ever handed out, smashing the previous highest amount of £580.

Mr Walker is the first person to win the rollover prize. It was started 11 months ago and every month £100 is added to the rollover fund when someone doesn't win the top prize.

The draw has been a huge fund-raiser for Workington Reds, collecting more than £100,000 for the club.

The draw, which was originally called the 200 Club, was formed 16 years ago at the end of this month.

It started off with 200 members and there are now 1,200 people signed up.

Derek Coyle, one of the organisers of the draw, said: "It has been a good thing for the club."

The draw costs £2 per month to enter.
