Lottery jackpot winners pledge to keep Waverley at full steam

TWO EuroMillions lottery winners from Ayrshire have pledged to help keep the Waverley paddle steamer afloat for another season by plugging any shortfall in its public funding campaign.

Chris and Colin Weir, who won a £161 million EuroMillions jackpot in July, have agreed to contribute an undisclosed sum to top up a £350,000 fundraising appeal, ensuring it can afford an expensive winter refit and sail again next year.
