Stena Line's Holyhead ferry proves lucky for staff

Staff working on the Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire ferry route operated by Stena Line recently won the £2.2 million jackpot in a National Lottery draw.

The top prize was won by a syndicate of more than 25 workers, who received nearly £75,000 each, the Holyhead and Anglesey Mail reports.

A staff source told the newspaper that the "fantastic amount of money" would make a "great difference" to all of the winners' lives.

"It is also nice because it is shared around a large group of the workers," the source added.

"Everyone not in the syndicate is kicking themselves now for not entering but I hope they really enjoy the money."

The lucky Stena Line staff are based on the HSS Explorer, which operates daily crossings on the Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire ferry route.

Stena Line also offers ferries to Dublin from Holyhead and provides access to Northern Ireland with its Fleetwood to Larne and Stranraer to Belfast ferry services.
