Young Mum reveals a million

Emma Wildin from Cinderford, was on her own at home when she revealed the win and immediately called her husband to summon him back from work.

The mother-of-two, who is a regular Scratchcard player, said, "I phoned my husband straight away and told him he needed to come back because I thought I'd won £1 million. I couldn't believe it; he was cool as a cucumber!"

"I paced around the kitchen until 9am when the Camelot line opened and I could chat to someone about my win. Afterwards I took the children to soft play and because I was too worried to leave it, I had the winning Scratchcard in my handbag the whole time!"

Emma's call to The National Lottery line reveals the moment her life-changing win was confirmed and her wonder at becoming a millionaire.

Emma and Phil, a financial advisor, have been married for six years and been together for 16. They live in their own house in Cinderford and have two children aged four and 18 months.

Emma said, "After the money arrived in my bank account I went to buy some new clothes for our holiday next week and also treated myself to a new car – a second-hand Range Rover. I'm planning to hang onto the rest of it though because what we'd really like to do is buy a plot of land and build our own dream home."
