A British woman won the lottery worth Rs 10.37 lakhs
She said her fortuitous victory inspired her to live to be 100. Doris Stanbridge, 70, from Dorking, Surrey, celebrated her 70th birthday by buying a lottery ticket for thousands of pounds.
He was getting ready for his 70th birthday party and while doing so he discovered Money Spiders at his house. It is a species of spider known to bring fortune to the family. Doris Stanbridge was inspired to buy a lottery ticket and try her luck.
During his birthday party, he received an email from the National Lottery, a company that manages lottery games. He entered the app believing he had won £10 or some other small prize.
Dorris Stanbridge couldn’t believe her eyes after reading the email which said: “Congratulations, you have been earning £10,000 a month for 30 years.” “I asked Keith (Doris’s husband), ‘Did I read that correctly?'” Is that what I think it means? “No, it can’t be,” Dorris said in an interview with the Daily Mail.
The surprised grandmother took a second glance from her son-in-law and then celebrated his birthday with a bottle of champagne.
The woman still feels strange about the victory.
Dorris Stanbridge received official confirmation from the National Lottery the following morning by post. “It still seems strange to me when I think about the victory and the fact that I will receive that money every month for the next 30 years.”
“It gives me a reason to live to be 100!” said Dorris Stanbridge. In August, an elderly woman won the lottery. So far, she and her husband Keith have bought a new bed and an Airfryer.
The newlyweds and their family also took a trip to Cornwall. In addition, they intend to renovate their 50-year-old house. They plan to take their family on a long vacation abroad soon.
If all goes according to plan, this will be her grandson’s first flight, according to the 70-year-old grandmother. Dorris won the National Lottery’s Set For Life draw on August 3 after purchasing the winning ticket that night. The winning lottery numbers were 2,11,17,30,38 and Life Ball 3.
