'Scratch of the day' secures win

Fish and chip waitress Leah said she will go back to work

A fish and chip shop waitress who won £1m on a scratch card has said she will be going back to work on Sunday.

Leah Sumray, 21, won the cash after picking the Million Pound Payout Scratch card from the National Lottery.

Ms Sumray works at the Dolphin fish and chip shop in the tourist resort of St Ives, Cornwall.

She is planning a holiday to the Caribbean and New York as well as investing some of the money in her father's building business.

I just want to keep my feet on the ground and just carry on life as normal Leah Sumray

Ms Sumray described how she bought the winning card on her way to meet friends: "I bought three and the first one I scratched I won £1m."

Her mother Dawn Sumray described her daughter as lucky: "Even when we go on holiday and play bingo, even if it is for a pint of lager, Leah used to win."

Ms Sumray has decided to keep working because of what she would miss if she left.

"All my friends are down there and I do enjoy it and I just want to keep my feet on the ground and just carry on life as normal, really."
