Matthew, who is enjoying work experience at The Factory Shop, in North Sea Lane, Humberston, plans to marry Bronwyn in September.
After winning the Red Or Blue game, Matthew said: "I didn't realise it was the most expensive prize of the night. It is going to make her Valentine's Day.

Matthew was presented with the stunning In The Pink prize by Prices For Prizes organiser Caroline Whelpton.
She said: "Everyone was really hyped up and there was massive audience participation.
