Anglia Money

An £8 million lottery prize has been claimed by a ticket holder in Colchester.

The mystery ticket holder took more than a month to come forward to claim the prize having matched their numbers on September 14.

The £8,168,679 came from matching five balls and the bonus ball. The total pot - over £24 million - was split between three winners.

More than £1 million worth of vintage tractors, steam engines and classic vehicles have been sold at a vintage auction in Cambridge.

The most popular items were four rare steam engines which went for £237,000 in total.

Also among the sales was an old Anglia TV studio camera, on its steerable dolly, which made £1,000.

The housing market's expected to pick up again across the east following a dip after Brexit.

The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors says house prices will increase by 3.3% per year on average for the next five years.

This marks the most confident prediction given in the survey since the referendum vote, although not as strong as predictions made closer to the start of the year, when surveyors predicted annual price growth of more than 4%.

East Anglia has seen the strongest growth in the UK with 30 % of surveyors reporting price rises.

One in three working families in East Anglia would not be able to pay their rent or mortgage for more than a month if they lost their job.

That's according to a study by the housing charity Shelter. The study also showed that most have little or no personal savings.
