TigersLotto winner's experience of a lifetime

Leicester Tigers fan Mathew Rix described the VIP Hospitality for England's opening Six Nations game that he won on the TigersLotto as "the experience of a lifetime".

Matthew, of Knighton in Leicester, won the second Mega Draw on the TigersLotto in December.
 
At the heart of the prize were two tickets to England’s RBS 6 Nations opener with France at Twickenham last weekend. He also won VIP hospitality at Tigers’ facility at Kneller Hall in the shadows of Twickenham Stadium, two nights in the Petersham Hotel in Richmond plus £250 spending money.
 
England did their bit, getting their championship defence off to a winning start by securing a 19-16 victory, a national record 15th in a row.
 
“We had an amazing time,” said Mathew. “The seats at Twickenham were amazing. It felt like we were in the thick of the action. It was the experience of a lifetime.
 
“The chats that Matt Poole hosted (at Kneller Hall) were funny, informative and made the whole trip to the clubhouse an event in itself.
 
“It was great to see past and current legends of the game such as Rory Underwood, Johnno, Manu, Alex Goode and George Kruis, and to have a chat with Rory.
 
“When I signed up for TigersLlotto I thought I would be lucky to win £100, so it has been a bit surreal. Thank you for organising such a fabulous weekend for us.”
 
The next Mega Draw takes place on March 1, when a pair of tickets to Ladies Day at Royal Ascot on Thursday, June 22 is the prize up for grabs. The prize also includes one night's accommodation at the Runnymede on Thames four star hotel and spa in Egham with breakfast. The lucky winner will also receive £200 spending money.
