RONALD Toomer, pictured, is celebrating a windfall thanks to the Daily Echo's Find the Ball competition. He has scooped the runner-up prize of £1,100.
Mr Toomer, 69, who shares his home in Highfield, Southampton, with wife Janet, said: "It's fantastic. I think I'll put the money towards some home improvement. I've also got an idea to spend the money on a surprise for Janet but I'm keeping that top secret." The self-employed joiner and double glazer plays Find the Ball in the Daily Echo every week.
Don't miss tomorrow's Daily Echo when the Find the Ball jackpot will stand at £14,000, with a runner-up prize of £1,200.
Find the Ball appears in five Newsquest newspapers each week. Last year more than £230,000 was paid out in prize money.
