A former school lollipop lady landed her family a £300,000 lottery windfall after buying a scratchcard on the way to a doctor's appointment. Mum of two Caroline Walsh uncovered her jackpot on the Super 7s scratchcard as she sat waiting for her appointment.
Caroline, 58, of Pontypool, lost her husband Mike to cancer last year, and will share the win with her children. She said: "Thank goodness the doctor didn’t take my blood pressure in the appointment, it would have been through the roof! I wouldn’t have been able to tell her what was causing it because I wanted my sons to be the first to know.
“I spoke to my sons as soon as I got out of the surgery and they couldn’t believe it! We’re all in shock. They are both grown up and have children of their own so, the money will make such a difference to all of us.”
