She said: "I won the money on the Friday and I was back on the bus to work the next day. It hasn’t really sunk in yet."

Audrey, who struggled with cancer, now plans to pay off her 68,000 pound mortgage.

Three years ago her bank had demanded of her to pay 18,000 pounds immediately or vacate the house for a 1976 debt, but she had won the right to stay in the house only after a bitter legal battle.

But now Audrey has a new life ahead, although she has no inkling of what it would be like. She said: "When you have had to budget all your life, getting rich is pretty difficult to get used to. I am finding it very hard adjusting."

"I’m going to do a few home improvements such as a conservatory. And I plan to help my children. But I don’t drive so I won’t need a flash car and I don’t like the heat so I won’t be going on any exotic holidays," she added.
