Mother of two wins €300,000 lottery prize one year after losing her husband

Sometimes people get fortune in the mean time. This time a lucky mother won €300,000 in National Lottery with her two sons one year after losing her husband due to cancer.

Caroline Walsh, 58, from Pontypool in Wales, purchased a Super 7s Scratchcard on her way to doctor's office. She realized she had won the top prize while at the surgery waiting room.

Wales said she plays National Lottery with her sons, who will each take share of the spoils. 

The lady lost her husband Mike to cancer in 2021. She then had a lupus attack and while at the hospital her house Flooded. 

"Mike and I always used to play the National Lottery together and talk about what we'd do if we win," the former lollipop lady said.

The lucky woman said she plans to use her winnings to transform her garden. 

Chris, 40 year old, Walsh's elder son, said he is planning for a family holiday with his share.
