Competition winner Sarah King is a gran in a million.
The pensioner, from Market Weighton, is giving away her £1 million prize-money from a competition in a national newspaper to her family, keeping just enough for herself to buy a new hearing aid.
Mrs King, who is 87, collected tokens to enter the competition, then was handed the cheque after a draw between nine finalists.
She said: "It's not making any difference to me at all, I just happened to be lucky.
"But I'm old really, and the children are going to get the money."
