Michelle Adams and her partner had been struggling after a turbulent time - but her massive win is going to turn her life around again
A nurse from Surrey has been dragged out of work to be presented with a £77,000 dream car she won for just £2.30.
Michelle Adams was in the middle of a busy shift in Fleet when presenters from the prize draw firm BOTB turned up to surprise her with the keys to a brand new Land Rover Defender.
“I don’t know whether to laugh or cry,” she grinned. “I’m shaking," she said as she was given a hug by Christian Williams, who showed her round the gleaming new motor.
Michelle, from Camberley, told Christian that she had entered the competition because Land Rover's Defender was her dream car, and she had always been embarrassed to park her current car alongside her colleagues - but that was about to change.
And it wasn't the only big surprise for Michelle, either. Because Christian was about to open the boot and show her the bonus prize - a suitcase containing £20,000 in cash.
As Christian explained that her total prize pot came to nearly £100,000, she burst into tears.
"You don't know how life-changing this is", she revealed. "I was married for many, many years, and my marriage broke down.

"I lost my house and it's been very hard. We live pay-packet to pay-packet and my partner's car was written off just a few weeks ago by an uninsured drink-driver outside our house. So that's caused immense problems.
"So this is literally life-changing. It's going to turn us around. So I'm lost for words, and it's not often that happens."

💪 Women 55+ are leading the way in healthy weight loss
A major UK study shows that women over 55 are seeing the best results from weight loss jabs like Wegovy and Mounjaro – and it’s not just the medication that’s working. According to research from Voy and Imperial College London, older women who track their weight and attend coaching sessions lose 53% more weight than those relying on jabs alone.
