PlayDonna always buys a lottery ticket as a treat for herself on special occasions, such as her birthday or holidays. After two weeks soaking up the sun in Corfu, she returned to work, where she checked her ticket - and discovered that she was now a millionaire.
‘When I returned from holiday I asked my work mates to check the ticket for me and it came up with a message saying I needed to call Camelot,’ she said to the assembled press. ‘That was the longest walk home from work I have ever done.’ After confirming her win with lottery officials, she went out straight out on a hen do!
Fortunately for Donna, she didn’t lose her winning ticket while she was on holiday; the playslip went along in her handbag the whole time, and she even stashed her purse ten seats ahead of her on the return flight as the overhead compartments were full. ‘It makes me shudder to think how easily I could have lost my £1 million pound ticket,’ she said.
New houses for Donna and her mother, as well as Donna’s 18-year-old daughter Bryony, are all on the cards, but she intends to keep working at the Co-Op as she enjoys her job, even joking that her boss sees her as a ‘lucky mascot’ for the shop.
