Drivers should brace for long delays at the UK’s busiest crossing.

They are common behaviours behind the wheel – but they could be dangerous and costly.

A lucky lottery player has pocketed £5,200,000 in the latest Lotto draw.

Another millionaire has been created after a mystery player won big in last night’s National Lottery draw.

They scooped up the life-changing amount with winning numbers  27, 36, 39, 48, 57, 59 plus the bonus number 45.

The identity of the winner has not been revealed, but somewhere a lucky player had the surprise of a lifetime after the numbers were announced.

Meanwhile, time is running out for another winner who bagged the Set For Life win.

An urgent search continues for the mystery winner who has not been found.

The unknown player bought their ticket in Sevenoaks last October, but has not come forward to claim the £10,000 a month for 30 years prize.

They have just four days to find the ticket and get in touch with the National Lottery before losing out on the money.

In last night’s lottery game, 29 players also won £1,750 each after matching five of the lucky numbers.

While no one took home the Thunderball top prize of £500,000, not all players were left empty-handed as one person matched five numbers and pocketed £5,000.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: ‘What wonderful news for our lucky Lotto players, as one ticket-holder has won tonight’s £5.2 million jackpot.

‘That makes it two Lotto jackpot wins so far this month after another lucky ticket-holder won the £7.3 million jackpot on April 5.

‘Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call if they think they are tonight’s lucky winner.’

Now the timer is ticking for the latest Lotto winner to contact the lottery team who deal with winners.

In general, prizes must be claimed within 180 days after the draw.

If you play the lottery by purchasing a traditional ticket, it might not be a bad idea to take a picture of it in case it is lost or damaged.

This weekend, the Saturday Lotto draw has a £15,000,000 special jackpot up for grabs with the right numbers.

As dreamy as winning the lottery sounds, it has the potential to ruin your life.

Sudden, huge amounts of money have thrown many people into chaos after they were not able to handle the change.

Unlucky winners have lost it all – and some have become targets of criminals and even kidnapping due to their newfound fortune.

Footage shows the moment people came just inches from being flattened by 70mph trains in a seaside town.

A popular foot crossing has closed in Ferring, West Sussex, after several close-calls and ‘misuse’ incidents.

CCTV at the railway crossing near Goring-by-Sea shows how people came close to being killed by fast-moving trains – or could have been electrocuted.

A young person appeared to be urinating on a stretch of the track where trains travel at up to 70mph, Network Rail said.

In another clip, a man holding a shopping bag and his dog on a lead saunters to the tracks.

The dog appears reluctant to cross and tries to pull its owner back to safety.

As the man is yanking the leash, he turns over his shoulder to see the approaching passenger train.

The pair manage to leap to safety, but the train passes him just inches away.

In another hair-raising clip, a cyclist appears to wait right between the tracks as a train approaches.

He stands there casually and only walks away when the train is seconds away.

Stuart Tautz, an operations risk advisor for Network Rail, said that ‘level crossings just aren’t safe places to play or mess around on,’ adding that they have spoken to local schools about the dangers.

‘The risk of being electrocuted is much greater than you may think, and so we’re urgently getting the message out to children and their parents that there is a risk to life,’ he said.

The rails have a live ‘third’ rail, which powers trains and is always on, having ‘enough electricity to kill,’ Network Rail warned.

Now the Clappers Lane crossing has been temporarily closed after the near-misses showing people walking on the tracks or playing there, which have been reported to the police.

In January alone, there were four incidents at the site when trains passed people by mere seconds. There have been 22 incidents since 2019.

Safety measures like extra signage and cameras were installed along with education events.

But, Network Rail said a series of incidents forced it to shut the crossing until it can install ‘further measures to improve the safety of the crossing and deter further incidents of misuse.’

The closure comes after Network Rail launched a grisly safety campaign about the dangers of the electric rail and what it will do to the body.

The high-voltage third electric rail can cause catastrophic and life-changing injuries, with the campaign showing a burned shoe and a charred foot that was recreated to demonstrated what happens to human flesh when it is hit by 750 volts.

A new survey found that 59% of Britons don’t know what the ‘third’ rail is and 38% of people think electrocution from rail tracks doesn’t cause serious injury.
