Cancer Survivor Wins 1 Million Pounds on Lotto Scratchcard

by Rajshri on November 15, 2009 at 10:02 AM Cancer News

A British woman has won 1 million pounds on a Lotto scratchcard that was actually handed to her by mistake in the shop.

The 58-year-old Audrey White from Felixstowe, Suffolk, had asked for a 2-pound card but was given a 5-pound one inadvertently.

"When the lady who was serving me went to give me my card she said �I�m sorry I�ve ripped off the wrong one�," the Daily Express quoted her, as saying.

She said: "She apologized and went to get the right card, but I just laughed and said, �Oh give me that one it�s fine�."

She added: "I put the card in my bag and forgot all about it until later that evening.

"When I scratched the card and saw that I had matched the lucky symbol my first thought was that at least I had got my 5 pounds back as I knew the scratchcard was one that had a minimum prize value of 5 pounds. When I scratched off the bit which shows you how much you have won and saw 1 million pounds, I thought I must have made a mistake."

The mother of three is still startled to have won the money and continues to work at the Palace bingo and cinema complex in Felixstowe.
