CASH GRAB

My daughter told me to enter lotto after she won £10… but she’ll be gutted when I tell her I’ve scooped £30k

A WOMAN said her daughter told her to enter the lotto after winning just £10 - but she ended up scooping £30k.

Sally, from Clewer, Berks, was shocked when she opened her door to find Postcode Lottery presenter Jeff Brazier stood there with the huge cheque.

The self-employed gardener couldn't believe her luck after signing up to the draw on a whim.

Her daughter was on a bit of a winning streak and successfully pocketed a few tenners here and there before convincing Sally to join in.

But little did her daughter know - Sally would end up securing thousands of pounds more.

Chuffed, Sally said: "My daughter kept winning and said, 'Mum, you've got to do it.'

"The most she's won is £10 so she'll be a bit gutted when I tell her I've won £30,000.

"So, I've got her to thank for this."

The mum-of-two bagged the prize thanks to her BS28 4JG postcode.

She has now decided to splash the cash on the holiday of a lifetime with her husband Ben.

Wanting to tick off their dream destinations, the couple are planning trips to Australia and New Zealand.

Sally added: "It doesn't feel real at the moment. It's all a bit of a shock - Australia and New Zealand is more than a possibility now.

"I don't know what will happen to my customers' gardens while I'm on the other side of the world.

"They'll be a bit weedy and a bit overgrown."

Sally revealed how she missed the the original call from the lotto when they tried telling her about her win.

She said: "I didn't answer the lottery's call because I was hedge cutting, then I called back the next day and, hey presto, it's real and Jeff knocked on my front door.

"I can't wait to celebrate with our family and friends. We'll have lots of fun."

Jeff Brazier, who delivered the good news, said he loved surprising Sally with the prize.

He said: "It was a lovely day surprising Sally with our weekly Sunday £30,000 prize.

"I hope she has the best time taking in all the sights New Zealand and Australia has to offer.

"Our Postcode Lottery players enter to win, but they also know the huge benefit it brings to charities locally and across the UK.
