Deborah Burgess, 56, discovered, by chance, that she had won almost £1million in the lottery. Hospitalized just after playing, she did not think to check her emails where a message indeed informed her of the fantastic news.
After a phone call to the National Lottery, this time there was complete certainty for Deborah Burgess who had played the numbers 2, 7, 17, 28, 31, 37 and 8 as a bonus number. As a celebration, the fifty-year-old did not hesitate to "spurt the champagne like an F1 driver" and treated herself to a beautiful second-hand Hyundai.
