A DELIVERY driver has won a holiday at Sir Richard Branson’s safari lodge in South Africa after scooping prizes worth more than £60,000.
Steve Jones, from Birchwood, was a winner in Virgin’s Media 25 Days of Christmas competition, which ran throughout advent.
He scooped a bundle of incredible prizes as a result, including a Caribbean cruise and a stay at the billionaire company owner’s ski chalet in Switzerland.

The 64-year-old also had his mortgage paid for the month and a £1,000 donation made to Macmillan Cancer Support in his name.
Steve said: “I’m still coming to terms with the fact that I’ve actually won all of Virgin Media’s incredible prizes.
“You never think things like this happen to a normal bloke like me, but this competition proves they do.”
As part of the competition, Virgin Media customers played a snap-style game and were entered into a random daily prize draw.
Other prizes included a year’s supply of wine and beer, a TV, a Playstation, a virtual reality headset and a spa day with Cheryl Hole – a former contestant on Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK.
Cilesta Van Doorn, brand and marketing director at Virgin Media, added: "I really hope that Steve thinks that all of his Christmases have come at once, and wish him the most amazing 2020.”
