Winner Story · Aberdeen
Aberdeen man wins £200,000 — on the bus home from work
Aodhan C, Aberdeen. £200,000 or the keys to a Costa Blanca apartment.
Aodhan was on the bus home from work in Aberdeen, phone in hand, watching the draw go out live. Then the number came out. It was his.
No warning. No build-up. Just an ordinary commute across Aberdeen, headphones in, half an eye on the stream — and then two hundred thousand pounds.
This one was drawn live on stream, so Aodhan found out at exactly the same moment everybody else did. Most people watching were at home on the sofa. Aodhan found out three stops from his own front door, surrounded by strangers who had no idea what had just happened to the man sitting beside them.
Aberdeen to the Costa Blanca: the cash or the keys
This was one of the biggest draws we have ever run, and it came with a choice. Aodhan can take the money, or he can take the apartment.
Tax free, paid direct to his account.
El Raso, Guardamar del Segura — two bedrooms, two bathrooms, three terraces, ground floor. Bought outright and handed over with no mortgage and no strings.
A long way from a wet bus stop on Union Street. Either way, it is the kind of result that changes what the next twenty years look like — and the choice is his.
Wins of this size are rare and are not what most entrants should expect. Every ticket in a draw carries the same odds as every other ticket in that draw.
Two Aberdeen winners in under two weeks
Aodhan is the second Aberdeen winner on this platform in a fortnight. Late last month a landscaper from the city won a BMW 118d, took the £15,000 cash alternative, and then won another £7,000 in a completely separate draw days later — £22,000 in two weeks.
Coincidence, obviously. Every draw is independent and every ticket carries identical odds. But it has been a fair run for one city.

Aberdeen — tonight’s draws are open
Several major draws are running right now. Cash prizes, cars, and the kind of life-changing sums that have given Hittin It Big its name are all in play. Aodhan entered from his phone on the way to work. It takes about a minute.
