A retired grandmother says she is on “cloud nine” after she scooped a £3.8 million Lotto jackpot.
Despite her festive windfall, Diane Bate, 70, from Rhyl, North Wales, plans to have as normal a Christmas as possible with her loved ones before deciding what to do with her new-found fortune in the New Year.
Mrs Bate said: “We want to buy a bigger house locally as we love the area, but we don’t want a mansion or anything flashy. The USA is our favourite destination, we have been about 15 times and would love to go back as soon as it’s safe to do so.

A GRANDMOTHER from Rhyl is set to have a Christmas to remember after scooping an incredible £3,800,000 jackpot. Diane Bate, 70, who is retired and used to work in Social Services has been named the winner of the lotto draw on 12 December. The pensioner was physically sick the moment she realised her National Lottery win was genuine; both her husband, Michael, 74, and granddaughter had to check the ticket to prove it wasn’t a hoax. Diane said: “I checked my ticket early on Sunday morning using the National Lottery app when it made a funny sound. I looked at the amount and couldn’t quite believe my eyes, I thought, ‘surely that can’t be right?!’ The most I have ever won before is £100.
