Contest gran has £ 100,000 lucky streak
BRITAIN’S luckiest grandmother has scooped more than £ 100,000 worth of prizes in hundreds of competitions.
Lorraine Harrison, 63, got hooked after winning a cuddly toy back in 1990. Since then she has won dozens of holidays, bikes, a new £ 18,000 car and even 12 condoms – described as a year’s supply.
Now the medical receptionist and grandmother- of- four from Bramcote, Nottingham, is trying to win a break for herself and husband Dave, 55, for their 25th anniversary next year.
Holidays to Florida, Barbados, Dubai and Egypt, plus trips on Concorde and Orient Express, are among past draw and quiz prizes.
She said: “I was bitten when I won that teddy in the draw at Woolworths.
“I don’t do the Lottery though, the odds of winning are just too small.”
