NORTHERN ECHO competition winner George Howe plans to treat his family after winning a year's supply of petrol.
Mr Howe, 76, from Kirk Merrington, does not drive and relies on his family to give him lifts. And after winning £1,067 worth of petrol he plans to repay them.
The great grandfather, a life-long Northern Echo reader, will split the winnings between his three grown-up children and two grandchildren.
It was first time lucky for Mr Howe, who has never entered a newspaper competition before.
"My family drives me about. They'll take me anywhere. They'll all get a share," he said.
