Ecstatic Linda Olney got a belated wedding anniversary surprise when she found out her 75p-a-week flutter on the pools had scooped her £350,000 (Oct 5).
Housewife Mrs Olney (pictured), 54, said she and her husband, Jim, got the best anniversary present of their life when they were called by Littlewoods Pools the day after their anniversary.
The news of the win came through on August 26, the day after the lucky couple had enjoyed their anniversary celebrations.
Grandmother Mrs Olney, of Leywood Close, Amersham, took to doing the Littlewoods Pools weekly along with her husband when they first married 34 years ago.
She said: "We were poor as church mice then and just decided to do the pools and hedge our bets."
Mrs Olney said she was pleased to score the triple win and now has plans to take a dream flight on Concorde, although she and her husband are taking advice on how best to spend or invest their winnings.
