Britain's biggest lottery winner was stunned into silence when she realised she had scooped £35 million with a single ticket.Postal worker Angela Kelly, 40, said she was still in shock after claiming the weekend jackpot that makes her one of the richest women in the country.
The mother-of-one, from East Kilbride, near Glasgow in Scotland, only realised she had won three days after the draw when she checked her EuroMillions ticket at her desk at work.
"I couldn't really say anything," she told a news conference in Airth, near Falkirk.
"I just pushed my chair back and put my head between my knees because I was so flabbergasted."
She will leave the sorting office where she has worked for over 20 years next week.
The jackpot's weekly interest is worth the same as her £21,000 annual salary, she said.
Ms Kelly automatically becomes one of the richest people in the country, overtaking Wayne Rooney and even Princes William and Harry on the Sunday Times Rich List.
