The reactions / 04
Reactions we won’t forget.
Different people. Different places. Moments that made it all worthwhile.
The winners and their reactions became the heart of Watchlotto. Owen was over the moon at his first handover in Plymouth; Harrison remembers them both being just as nervous as each other.
The photographs bring together moments from Plymouth, Sydney and the Channel Islands. Jamie Robertson made the personal handover in Sydney. COVID meant the team could not travel to the Channel Islands to deliver that prize in person.
Sometimes the moment began with a phone call. The archive also captures Harrison with a Southend United player delivering the news to a winner.
Alongside those moments are more photographs from Harrison’s own archive: a personal prize handover and a video call from the Watchlotto sofa.
Recollections and photographs supplied by Harrison Gwinnett. Read the archive sources.
