A man from Barrow has won big thanks to a Cumbrian competition.
Speed Competitions is a Millom-based company run by Jack Townsend. They are currently offering a series of instant wins as well as a main draw.
From now until 8pm on October 31, there are 2,765 instant wins to be claimed before one lucky person walks away with the main prize - an Audi RS3.
The instant win prizes include three cars, nine motorcycles, up to £10,000 cash, and a ten-day all-inclusive holiday to the Maldives for two people.

Phillip Austin, from Barrow, won a 2016 Harley Davidson.
Instead of claiming the Harley Davidson Sportster XL Iron, he asked for a cash alternative.
Online, a new model is advertised at around £7,499.
When Phillip accepted the cash alternative, he asked Speed Competitions to donate part of the amount to charity.
The sum was hundreds of pounds.
Jack Townsend said: “As a company, we are massive on donations, and we donate all over the country, including £5,000 to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, so when a customer decides to donate some of their winnings, we are blown away. We have just an amazing customer base that we are so grateful for.”
