DRIVERS and staff at a Bury taxi firm have clocked up a National Lottery win of £136,000.

The 30-strong syndicate at Bolton Street-based Farebay Taxi Service scooped the prize in the lottery draw earlier this month.

They won the cash when their selection matched five numbers and the bonus ball.

On Wednesday, representatives from the syndicate travelled to Camelot's Liverpool headquarters to receive the cheque.

A spokesman for the company said: "It is true. We have won £136,000 which will be split equally between all members of the syndicate.

"It will mean about each person receiving around £4,500. So, it isn't really a huge amount."

Drivers originally heard about the win minutes after the draw when it was flashed over their taxi radios.
