A shopkeeper has shared their disbelief over a customer's 'life changing' £300,000 lottery win. Karen Parkin, 51, won £300,000 on a National Lottery scratch card which she picked up while shopping at Sonia's Stores on Park Lane, Basford.
Before her win, Karen said she "couldn't justify" buying a new hosepipe after finding hers had a leak, but she has now purchased one for £52 following her lottery win. Since Karen's win, she has already bought a new campervan and is planning a trip to Cairo with her mum.
Shopkeeper Nayan Lad, whose wife sold the winning scratch card to Karen a few weeks ago, said the money was 'life changing' to his customer. "It happened a couple of weeks ago, my wife was the one who sold her the scratch card. It's a nice feeling - for such a good thing to happen to a regular customer," Mr Lad said.
