A delighted Kay said: “I know it’s difficult to believe, but this is the first thing I’ve ever won. It was a lovely egg and so large I’ve given some of it away.”

It is estimated that more than 2,500 people entered draws held in bars, cafes, restaurants, shops and offices in and around Bexhill in a bid to win the eggs, which in total represented a hundredweight of chocolate.

An overall profit of some £2,000 will all go to the Bexhill Lions Charity Fund, used to support many local worthy causes, as well as special initiatives by Lions Club International.

Bexhill Lions are always interested in hearing from local people in need of support and can be contacted on 0845 833 9591 or via e-mail at: [email protected].

Club spokeswoman Andrea Etheridge said: “Unfortunately three eggs melted due to the unseasonably warm weather. The two least damaged were donated to Glyne Gap School.

“We’d like to thank to all who entered, and special thanks to the pubs, clubs, restaurants, shops and offices who gave magnificent support by running the Easter Egg draws.”
