Just the day before she had predicted this moment.

Tracey said: "The other day I was talking to my neighbour about houses, and I said that when the Postcode Lottery came knocking at my door, I'll be off. The next day you called me!"

Earlier Tracey has been googling "unique" clothes to add to her stylish wardrobe.

Wearing a tartan jacket, ripped jeans and her hair dyed Postcode Lottery red, Tracey said: "This will change our lives. I've never had anything like that, and I never will again.

"I expected a small amount. The amount we've got is... ooooh... I'm absolutely over the moon.

"I've been looking online for clothes all morning. Just Googling 'unique clothing'.

"It's something that has to stand out for me. I just like clothes."

Simon added: "Everyone comments on how she dresses, and she loves her hair."

Tracey said: "But it leaves my bedding looking like a crime scene."

Now she is keen to book the family a well deserved holiday.

When Winning the Lottery Becomes a Nightmare

She said: "I'll help the family out.

"They're alright on their own, but it will be a little gift.

"We'll go away on holiday somewhere. Maybe twice!

"The world is our oyster. We can go anywhere."
