An animal-lover scooped a lottery win of £10,000-a-month for the next 30 years after picking all six numbers on her mobile phone on the bus to work.
Sylvia Odolant-Smith, 42, was on her daily trip on the 344 from Battersea when she decided to play the Set for Life game on the National Lottery app.
She said: “It’s 25 years since the lottery started and I joked that if there was a prize for matching no numbers I’d be a winner every time. Now we are quite literally set for life.”
Sylvia and husband Gavin, 40, who runs The Lighthouse pub in Battersea, want to help charities after their win.
“We are mindful that others in London are not so fortunate”, she said.
The charities on the couple’s list include the Wood Green animal shelter, where she got two rescue cats, and a Welsh dog sanctuary.
