A COUPLE are planning a sunshine break somewhere in the Mediterranean next year after scooping a £1,000 Northern Echo jackpot.
Ruby Davison cut out six coupons from editions of the paper earlier this month and entered her name for a draw.
The 52-year-old, from Romanby, North Yorkshire, admitted yesterday she was so stunned when she found out she had won, she did not know what to say.
"It was absolutely brilliant. The £1,000 came in bonus bonds and I could have spent them just about anywhere - Comet, Boots, BHS, Victoria Wines and even Index - but I've already done most of my Christmas shopping.
"Callers Pegasus are also on the list, so we thought we'd ask them about a holiday. We don't know where yet - but somewhere nice and warm and probably in the Mediterranean.''
Ruby, a part-time book keeper, will be taking husband John with her, but 20-year-old son Mark will be staying behind.
"I can't forget him though. I'm sure some of my winnings will be going his way," said Ruby
