“I just can’t believe this has happened to me.”
The woman said she and her husband plan on buying a caravan and a new home.
But on Monday, she had some other business to attend to.
“I was just in the office with my boss resigning,” she said.
“My husband and I were hoping to retire at the end of the year but we are doing it now.
“This prize has really come at the most perfect time.”
