A FIRST class Christmas could be just around the corner for someone in Worcester who buys more than 12 first class stamps.

A unique card, which reveals the picture of a diamond, will guarantee one lucky winner in Britain a prize of £1m.

The card has been delivered to a mystery destination, and could be at any post office in Worcester or Worcestershire.

Tracey Newman, manager of St Peter's Post Office in the city, has recently launched the Christmas £1m competition at her store.

Cheer

Thirty runners-up prizes will also provide enormous Christmas cheer because five £50,000 ruby prizes are also hidden in the game cards, and 25 sapphire prizes worth £10,000.

The game cards are available until Friday, December 21.

First class stamps are available at 18,000 post office branches and 32,000 other outlets.

For the first time the Christmas stamps are self-adhesive.
