Barbara Cartmel’s Joyful Reaction
"I'm shaking like a leaf! It means I can go and see my son again and his family - that means the world to me."
"In two words? I didn't think at my age I could be so excited about anything again. When you get to 80, you think you've seen everything and done everything."
"I imagined I’d maybe won £1,000, and I’d have been chuffed with that."
Barbara lives in a seaside apartment overlooking the English Channel and describes the win as life-changing.
