December 17, 2014 - A young mother from Exeter won more than £3m on the National Lottery.

Jenn Burston said she was "gobsmacked" after winning £3,062,272 in the Lotto quadruple rollover draw on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old said she and her husband were now planning a holiday and intend to move out of their three-bedroom semi-detached house.

The mother of two has already been back to work as a part-time administrator because she did not want to "let people down".

Jenn initially thought she had won £3,000.

She said: "Once we realised it was £3m neither of us knew what to do next.

"I keep asking myself, just how do you spend that sort of money? I'm sure with £3m in the bank, the knack will come for us," she said.

Mrs Burston won the money after matching five numbers and the bonus ball when she played Lucky Dip online.
