She said: “My mum will be gobsmacked. It’s very rare that we win anything, but to actually win something like this is amazing.
'I still can't believe it now' Sainsbury’s sales assistant Michelle and Brett reckon their win is down to Brett’s mum, Christine, who died of pancreatic cancer eight years ago, aged 65. Car parts supplier Brett said: “This is my mum looking down on me. She would have done anything for anybody. She just made sure that everyone was set up and ok.
She said: “I didn’t expect it at all. It was like ‘wow, no way we’ve won that much’. I still can’t believe it now. My heart was racing and my reaction was to scream.” And they have vowed to splash out £1,000 on toys for a Christmas charity appeal. Brett said: “Tenerife is already booked and paid for next year, but we’ll be going to Hawaii for our 25th wedding anniversary now in 2026.
