A WOMAN who repeatedly dreamed that her Lottery numbers had come up has won a £3.6m jackpot.

Anita Wynne, 46, from Darlington, has had a recurring dream for the past few months that one of her usual eight lines had hit the jackpot.

On Sunday when she checked the winning numbers from Saturday's Lottery draw on Teletext, she saw the same numbers she had dreamed about, had scooped £3,644,131.

Anita said: "Of the eight lines, it was always the same one that appeared in the dream. I never thought it would come true, though. I couldn't believe my eyes on Sunday."

Her husband Ken, 53, said: "She was jumping up and down saying she had got all six numbers."

The ticket was bought at Supercigs, Queen Street in Darlington and the winning numbers were 9, 15, 22, 43, 46, 48.

Mother-of-three Anita said that the numbers were randomly chosen and had no significance.

Despite scooping the jackpot, the couple both went to work on Monday, as they could not get their win verified by the Lottery until that morning.

The couple, who live in a £35,000 three-bedroom house, have no plans to move and are not entirely sure how they will spend the cash.

They have decided to buy a £20,000 Mazda MX5 sports car and also build their dream holiday home on a plot of land they bought last year on the Greek island of Crete, which they visit each year on holiday.

Ken, an electrician at Tomlinson and Longstaff in West Auckland for the past 11 years, is planning to retire.

But Anita, who is a care assistant at The Garden Nursing Home, is less certain about leaving her job and plans to discuss the matter with her bosses.
