It was a very, very, very Good Friday for Jen!
Last updated 3 hours ago
A Tay FM listener from Arbroath has scooped an incredible £750,000 – and she says the win has completely changed her life. Jen was at home with her three daughters, aged 8, 12 and 15, when she got the news – and she admits she could hardly believe it.
Speaking after her huge win, Jen said she was left shocked and emotional, revealing she almost didn’t enter. She works in environmental health and is currently studying at university, juggling family life and her career – making the surprise even more overwhelming.
Watch the moment Jen found out
Jen said the moment didn’t feel real, especially as she’d been going back and forth about entering in the first place.
Surrounded by her daughters, the reality quickly kicked in as the life-changing sum was confirmed.
“I nearly didn’t enter!”
Life-changing plans already underway
Jen says the money will bring long-term security for her and her family. Top of the list? A new home. She’s hoping to buy a house with a garden, giving her daughters more space and a place to make memories. There will also be some well-earned treats for the family – and maybe even a spontaneous holiday.
Jen joked she could “go on holiday tomorrow” – but first things first, she celebrated with a takeaway. And the very first people she called were her mum and dad.
What would you do with £750,000?
