EYES on the prize . . . iPad winner John Mellor
LUCKY John Mellor’s number has come up again — nearly 13 years after winning £91,000 in a national newspaper competition.
This time the 63 year old, from Shaw, won an iPad in our reverse auction — by offering the lowest unique bid of fourpence!
He has already been been surfing the web with his prize and said: “It was a nice surprise — it is something I wanted.”
John and his wife Susan won £91,000 in a News of the World competition in 2000. He has also won a phone
“I am a lucky person. I go to Mecca Bingo as well and seem to win every other time — not massive prizes, a couple of pounds here and a couple of pounds there. It all adds up.”
