Mum's shock
A mum from Leicestershire, Deborah Burgess, won £1million on the lottery but didn't receive her cash for months. She even called the police thinking it might be a scam when she discovered she had won.
Unexpected jackpot
Deborah Burgess, a medical records administrator, won the life-changing prize in the Lotto draw on August 19 last year. However, due to falling ill with chronic anaemia and spending time in the hospital for treatment, she didn't check her emails for a while and was unaware of her win.
The moment of realization
When Ms. Burgess finally read the email from the National Lottery, she initially thought it might be a scam. But after confirming the win, her winnings were paid out.
Long-awaited celebration
Ms. Burgess shared the news with her son and his girlfriend and plans to use some of her winnings to help them after her son graduates from university. She also has plans for a trip to swim with dolphins in Hawaii with her family and is using the money to make improvements to her home.
Finally, a well-deserved celebration
After months of waiting, Deborah Burgess received her winnings and celebrated by spraying champagne like a Formula 1 driver. She described the experience as well worth the wait.
