A fisherman from the Isle of Man has won £250,000 on a National Lottery scratchcard.

Aaron Dickinson, 25, from Douglas said he bought the Navy Scratchcard with the last £2 he had left and then won £2 - he bought one more as he was "feeling really lucky."

He currently works as a fisherman and sells the scallops he catches to fish markets in Peel.

But he now has his sights set on putting a deposit down for a house, buying a boat of his own and opening his own fishing business.
