She said she was giving some of the money to her grown-up children, since they hadn't been able to get together over Christmas.

Mrs Childs added: "I'm hoping to spend the rest of the money on a get-together for us all in the garden when things are more normal."

Mrs Durham said: "I was shocked to hear I'd won. It was a lovely surprise.

"I'm not sure what to spend the money on at the moment, but there are a couple of things we need for the home. I'm just thinking about it."
