I scooped £340k lottery win but moved into a CARAVAN – living off-grid is my dream.. my neighbourhood has been forgotten
A LOTTERY winner who bagged £340,000 is planning to up sticks and move into a motorhome.
Community champ Claire, from Perth, Scotland also bemoaned how her community has been forgotten - and is hoping to raise funds for a fresh playground for local kids.
The mum-of-one, a former community warden, says she has big plans with her life-changing winnings.
"I would love a motorhome," she said.
" I had one before, but then my hands started to go and it wasn't power steering so I had to get rid of it.
"I'd like a three-berth with a fixed bed.

"I love going on holiday in Scotland. I've been all over the place.
"West is best. I can just pick up the dogs and go.
"I can't wait, I'm so excited.
"I've always wanted to go on a cruise. I suppose I can now."
Claire heads the Oudenarde Community Group in Bridge of Earn, and hopes to have plans approved for a new playground in the local area.
She continued: "This is a community that has been forgotten.
"We have to keep fund-raising.
"The ultimate aim is to get a playpark because the kids have nowhere to play.
"Every child in Scotland has the right to play.
"There aren't even good pavements around here, never mind a play park."
