A mum of one from Witham in Essex has banked a £1m EuroMillions win after waiting for almost three weeks to claim the life-changing sum.

Jacqui Shannon won one of the two UK Millionaire Maker prizes from the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday 1 November, 2016, but ignored all the initial emails with ‘news about your ticket’ until almost three weeks later.

Jacqui is wasting no time in making plans for herself and those around her, fulfilling two long-held dreams; to provide a safe future for her son and to own new cars.
