The owner of a Torfaen-based bus company surprised his passengers this week with free Lotto tickets.

Phil Anslow, from Phil Anslow & Sons Coaches, runs nationwide coach trips and local bus services in Gwent.

He wanted to thank his passengers and drivers for their support so jumped on some of his buses with the tickets.

Cwmbran Life has been told he bought 2,500 Lotto tickets. Half of them have been shared for this week’s Lotto draw with the other 1,250 being shared for next week’s draw.

A post on the company’s Facebook page said: “Phil is out meeting and greeting his passengers today!! Thanking them for their continued support over the years and gifting everyone with a lottery ticket!! Fingers crossed someone will have a lucky win!”
