The mum-of-one, a former community warden, says she has big plans with her life-changing winnings.

“I would love a motorhome,” she said.

” I had one before, but then my hands started to go and it wasn’t power steering so I had to get rid of it.

“I’d like a three-berth with a fixed bed.

“I love going on holiday in Scotland. I’ve been all over the place.

“West is best. I can just pick up the dogs and go.

“I can’t wait, I’m so excited.

“I’ve always wanted to go on a cruise. I suppose I can now.”

Claire heads the Oudenarde Community Group in Bridge of Earn, and hopes to have plans approved for a new playground in the local area.

She continued: “This is a community that has been forgotten.

I live in a motorhome full-time – it’s like a five-star hotel… there’s so many hidden surprises

“We have to keep fund-raising.

“The ultimate aim is to get a playpark because the kids have nowhere to play.

“Every child in Scotland has the right to play.

“There aren’t even good pavements around here, never mind a play park.”

This comes as a lucky couple who scooped an eye-watering £2million lottery jackpot have revealed how they still shop at Poundland.

Marie Kibler and husband Paul, from Birmingham, were stunned to discover the massive win – but still admit to watching the pennies.

Elsewhere, another lucky couple thought they’d only bagged £2.60 on the lottery – but soon discovered they had scooped the £61million jackpot.

Richard and Debbie Nuttall, both 54, from Colne, Lancashire, took home the life-changing sum in the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday, 30 January 2024.

But now, Debbie has been embroiled in a long-standing family dispute with her estranged brother Glen – who claims he hasn’t seen a penny.

Meanwhile, a fellow lotto jackpot scooper has hit back after being accused of pocketing a £1million jackpot after splitting from her boyfriend.

Charlotte Cox, 37, has slammed her ex-partner, Michael Cartlidge’s “rubbish” claims that he is entitled to half the massive win.
