A woman plagued by a rotten run of bad luck had a sudden change of fortune after scooping £300,000 on the lottery after dashing out to grab some essentials.
Karen Parkin, 51, started playing scratchcards after she stood behind a lady in a shop who won £50,000 on one.
Weeks later, Karen, who gave up her job as a delivery driver after suffering from arthritis of the spine, popped out to buy bread and milk.
