A GREAT-GRANDMOTHER is celebrating after she won £1,000 in a lottery.

Beryl Clements, 78, of Brentwood, scooped first prize in the Saint Francis Hospice weekly draw the same day she was told she needed to replace her car exhaust.

The great-grandmother of eight supports the hospice after they cared for her husband Walter.

She said: “After I’ve sorted out my car’s exhaust I’ll now have some spending money foraholidayIhave planned with my grandson and his wife later this year."
