BRITAIN'S luckiest Lottery shop has produced another winner.

Cat Wilson - who only bought the scratch card after going into the shop get change for a rail ticket - scooped £100,000 at Metro News, which had already created two millionaires.

Metro News, in the MetroCentre, Gateshead, has been lucky for others.

Alan Collins, 50, a bus driver from Gateshead, scooped £2.5m in 1997 after buying his ticket at the shop and Beverley Caskie, 29, who won £1.4m in March, 1998.

And staff say just a few weeks ago another woman scooped £7,000 on a scratch card.

Cat, 20, said yesterday: "When I saw I had three £100,000s on the card I didn't believe it.

"I was flabbergasted. I checked it five times before it sunk in, and then I went back into the shop to check it again."

Cat and husband Rob, 28, had just finished work in Gateshead and went to the town's Metro Interchange planning to go to Newcastle.

She said: "I hadn't even thought about buying a scratch card - all I really wanted was some change for the Metro.

"I bought a packet of crisps for 10p and then suddenly decided to buy a scratch card.

"When Rob realised I had won £100,000 he began running round shouting 'We've won' and then picked me up and put me over his shoulders."

Cat phoned to give the news to her mother Karen Harmer, 41, who was looking after the couple's nine-month-old son Taylor.

The windfall means the couple, who run Eric's Cafe in High Street, Gateshead, will be able to afford a proper honeymoon.

Rob said: "We're been married only six months and our honeymoon was one night in a hotel. We're planning to go to Florida."
