Jackpotjoy £101,383 Price Is Right Win!

Deborah M hit it big and saw her life change in a few seconds just before Christmas 2009 – and here’s how it happened…

This is what Jackpotjoy player Deborah had to say about her win, “Before going to bed I decided to have a few games of The Price Is Right, but then I saw how big the Jackpot in Sapphire is and I thought I’d have a game. When my name flashed up as the PJ winner I just started screaming – I couldn’t believe it - I thought it was a mistake.”

“My husband was away for the weekend visiting his family and I was alone as our children were in bed. He thought something was wrong when I rang him as I could not stop crying. My mum and dad came round later that night and checked to make sure I wasn’t mistaken. I couldn’t eat or sleep for three or four days.

“I’ll never forget this Christmas Eve – it was the one when I went to the bank and paid off my mortgage!

“We had a fantastic Christmas and I was able to treat my three young children. I’ve also booked a holiday to New York for myself and my mum and am looking forward to a summer holiday with my family. Thank you so much for changing my life – I’m still in shock.”
