Mother-of-two celebrates £838k EuroMillions win - by tucking into a curry trends now

A mother-of-two who had been working two jobs to support her family celebrated scooping £838,000 on EuroMillions - by tucking into her favourite takeaway curry. 

Sally-Ann Hanitzsch, from Cambourne, had been working shifts at a Morrisons shop while holding down a full-time role as an assets officer at Cambridge City Council.

The 55-year-old matched all five main numbers plus a lucky star in the EuroMillions draw on December 2, but did not check her ticket until more than a month later. 

Now, after spending years in social housing, the hard working mother plans on using her £838,125.50 fortune to buy a new house - as well as helping her children Jack, 27, and Sophie, 22, get on the property ladder.

Describing the moment she found out about her windfall Sally-Ann said: 'It was on a Saturday shift in January when I had a couple of minutes and thought I'd check my tickets. I rarely check them because I never think I'll win but asked a colleague to scan and she said you need to call the National Lottery now and sign the ticket.
