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.”
