'I feel like I have won the lottery twice'
A lotto-winning grandma feels she has won the jackpot ‘twice’ after getting the chance to tango across Blackpool ’s iconic Tower Ballroom.
"I feel like I have won the lottery twice! And this just seemed like the perfect moment to buy my dream dresses and go out there in style. It is a day which will remain with me for the rest of my life.” “It wasn’t without complications and the recovery was a long road but I never gave up hope - I always remained positive and believed that good things would come into my life. And good things certainly did when I matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball and won my £1M Lotto prize with a Lucky Dip ticket!
Aaron Edgar, Operations Manager at The Blackpool Tower and Tower Ballroom, said: “It was just a delight to see Terri on the dancefloor – we were so thrilled to be able to grant her this very special wish. She is certainly one incredible lady – who knows, we may even see her in Strictly next!” She is the only ISTD member who has won five ballroom and three Latin titles, remaining undefeated in the UK in ballroom dancing. Terri continues to dance twice a week and has already signed up for another competition, The UK National Medallist Championships, at the start of November.
