Retired teacher scoops £10,000 a month prize on The National Lottery

A retired teacher from Newbury has won £10,000 a month for a year on the National Lottery Set For Life draw.

The woman, who is in her 70s, scored the prize with a Lucky Dip card.

She has already booked a holiday abroad and is considering using some of her prize towards home renovations.

The winner said: “This is so unexpected, what a great surprise.

“This win will make life a lot easier.”

Winners’ advisor at The National Lottery operator Allwyn, Liz Styles, said: “A quick pop into the local shop for a Lucky Dip and £10,000 a month for a year to follow, we love to see it.

“We hope the holiday abroad is wonderful and that those home renovations are everything she has in mind.”
