Festival Fields beckon for Scratchcard winner
A trip to the shops for has proved to be life changing for Sharin McCourt from Derry. The festival loving lady has promised its VIP for her and her best mate after a £250,000 win.
"£250,000! My reaction was total disbelief. I didn't shout or cheer I just had a look of total bewilderment on my face. Even now I find it hard to comprehend."
Despite Sharin's assurance it was a winner, Sharin still wasn't convinced. "When I look back now I think I was in complete shock. I decided that I'd take the scratchcard to the shop where I bought it and see if they could confirm it and to my amazement they too said it was genuine. By this point it had started to sink in so when I called the National Lottery claim line and they also said it was real, I knew I'd finally won!"
So what is Sharin planning to spend her winnings on? "To be honest, I lead a simple life so I don’t have any big plans yet. However, I'm an avid festival goer so it'll be VIP all the way to my favourite festivals this year. I also plan to buy my life-long friend, Sharon, a new car as the one we travel to the festivals in has had more hits than Abba! I'll also get us some brand new wellington boots to keep our feet dry!"
