A Yorkshire mum is truly set for life after winning a new National Lottery game.
Vicky Mitchell is set to receive prize money of £10,000 a month for 30 YEARS after winning the Set For Life game.
Vicky, 42, has her eyes on a new, bigger home after scooping the win in the August 12 draw.
The mum-of-two, from Halifax , spent her last £1.50 from a previous Lottery win to buy a line in the game.
She said: "In a million years you never think you’ll win big but this is life changing."
The administration assistant was pleased to see an early morning email from the Lottery telling her she had won a prize.
But it wasn't until she logged in that her incredible £3.6m jackpot win was revealed.
She said: "I was half asleep when I saw the email and thought: ‘great it’s another fiver’. I couldn’t work it out and see what I had actually won. It said I had to log on.
"I woke up my partner, Adam, and shoved my phone in his face saying that I’d won the lottery. He said: ‘what a pound?’ and I just shouted: ‘no, look, look, look’. It was still early so we then had an agonising wait to call The National Lottery line to get it all confirmed."
Vicky, who shares one car with her partner, now hopes to buy another vehicle.
She said: "Adam and I share a car which means I sometimes end up on the bus. Just having my own car will be amazing."
And Vicky, who plans to carry on working after her win, hopes to buy a larger house.
She said: "My youngest son needs a bit bigger garden to boot his football about so we’ll look for somewhere soon."
Vicky added: "It’s still sinking in but whereas before I would see a jumper for one of my sons and think that I couldn’t afford it, I can now just buy it."
The National Lottery's Set For Life game launched in January. Winners are given £10,000 a month for 30 years.
