Taxi driver Shirley Garbutt scooped nearly £2m on the National Lottery - then went straight back to work picking up fares.

Stunned Shirley could not believe her eyes when her numbers came up during Wednesday's draw.

But, instead of letting the champagne corks pop, she got back behind the wheel of her cab to collect passengers in her home town of Bedale, North Yorkshire.

It was a case of third time lucky for Shirley, 39, because just a week earlier she won a luxury holiday in Spain, and husband Bob, 55, won 20 free pints in his local pub draw.

Now Shirley, who runs Shirley's Taxis, is thinking of trading in her L-Reg Rover 218 for something a bit flashier.

She is also planning to splash out some of the £1,963,348 win on a new house for her, Bob and their daughter Beverley, 13.

Construction worker Bob is also thinking of starting a new career - he wants to join his wife as a driver in the family business.

Shirley, who picked the winning numbers 10, 13, 24, 31, 36, and 47 at random, said: "I love working and there is no way I would pack it in. The customers are delighted for me, but the only problem is now the tips won't be as good!"
