Now, she is the proud owner of a Lamborghini Urus S, which can reach 60mph in 3.5s from a standing start and has a staggering 189mph top speed.
The bright green motor gets its bite, and plenty of bark too, from a twin-turbocharged V8 laying down 656 horsepower.
Nan-of-six Wendy joked: "I don’t know if I’m a bit too old to be driving around in a Lamborghini.
"I do like a nice car, but I’m not a speed queen or anything like that.

"I have an 11-month-old German Shepherd who is getting a bit boisterous.
"So I need to make sure he doesn’t get out."
Virgin Radio host and BOTB presenter Christian Williams was on hand to congratulate Wendy on her big win, describing it as "life-changing".
He said: "It is a very powerful car and looks like a spaceship inside.
"I didn’t think we were going to get her out of it at one stage when she sat in it to take a look.
"I am sure the money will also come in very handy as well."
It comes after a farmer revealed how he hit back at tourists stopping on his land by charging them £7 extra to "park like a wally".
