SIX construction workers from Barnsley are celebrating after scooping more than £300,000 on the Euromillions - the first time they ever played together.

The Six of the Best syndicate matched five numbers and one lucky star in last Tuesday's draw.

Nigel Himsworth 41, Adam Wright 27, Ashley Robinson 28, Adam Booth 20, Michael Hunt 31 and Darren Fisher 42 will each take a £55,527.90 share of the win.

The men work for specialist contractor Kirk Environmental and have been working in Glasgow for the past few weeks.
