Ian Stone and competition winner Debs Hamilton
A Paignton resident is £12,000 better off thanks to a new company launched in Torbay.
Ian and Karen Stone, alongside Bobbie-Lynn and Simon Denham, are behind the new local competition site Coast2Coast.
They ran a major competition over the festive period, which was drawn live on Facebook.
The winner was Debs Hamilton from Paignton, who won £1,000 a month for the entire year of 2026.
Karen Stone said: “Debs was a very deserving winner, and it’s genuinely been a life-changing prize for her, which has been lovely to see.”
She added: “There was also £14,000 of instant wins hidden behind the tickets. Debs only had six tickets in the competition, which makes the win even more incredible.”
She says Coast2Coast Comps is a Torbay-based UK competition company built on fairness, transparency, and community.
“We run exciting online competitions offering cash, tech, holidays, vouchers, and lifestyle prizes,” she says.
Players can win every day through our daily automated draws, plus a big live draw every Wednesday at 8pm on Facebook, where winners are selected live for everyone to see.
