Mum wins huge £300,000 Windfall
Wednesday, 13.11.2013
Julie Whaling is a mum of 5 who plays 2 scratch card games every week – was in complete shock when she saw those matching numbers revealed one by one, only to present her with a mammoth £300,000 prize! Julie is a packer at Manor Bakeries and still appears to not really believe her luck! She was off to work and thought that before she went in she may as well play the scratch card she had bought that day and as soon as she saw those numbers match started shaking.
Not believing what was happening to her she shouted on her son Steven who advised her to call the National Lottery. They clarified that the top prize had been won so she asked her daughter Shantel to take care of the card before heading to night shift (how she could concentrate we will never know)! Steven had already spread the good news on his Facebook page so everyone was waiting to congratulate her when she arrived at the bakery.
Julie plans to make this year the best Christmas her and her family have ever had and has decided that instead of slaving over a hot stove all day she would take the family out to lunch as a special treat! After living on the same street for all of her life, she is also thinking about moving in to a bigger home and in fact has already been visiting her dream bungalow that’s only 1 mile away from where she lives now! Julie stated:
“It really is a dream come true and if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone” If that’s not an inspiring winners’ story we don’t know what is!
