A GRANDMA says she won £111,111 on the Postcode Lottery a year after cancelling her ticket.
Olga says she only signed back up to the daily draw on the advice of pal Linda - who also won big in this month's jackpot.
After bagging the life-changing sum, she and hubby Frank have big plans on how they'll splash the cash.
Polish-born Olga, from Bottesford, Nottinghamshire, said: “Linda and I are best friends.
"We go out together, have lunch together and have been on holiday together. Linda played and asked if I was playing.

"I used to play and stopped, so I said ‘ok then, I’ll start playing again’. I’m so grateful, and I’ll enjoy spending it.”
Olga also plans to complete a newly built extension on her home before treating sports coach son Paul, and grandchildren.
Olga said: "I want to finish my new extension. Then I'll be taking my beautiful granddaughter on holiday after she finishes her GCSEs.
"We'll be going to Benidorm because we love Benidorm.
"And if my son is ok with it, I might give him a little bit."
Olga was among nine neighbours who bagged £111,111.
Among them was mum-of-three Linda who Olga credited for getting her back into the Postcode Lottery.
She snuggled into husband Bill after being presented with her cheque.
She said, "Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! I don't know whether I'm dreaming.
"We sit there and see it on the TV and think 'if only'."

Linda and Bill say they'll put the money in the bank until they "calm down" - but might visit their two sons and grandchildren in Miami, Florida.
And she also she paid a heartwarming tribute to her friend, adding: "Having a friend like Olga is like winning the Postcode Lottery in itself.
"She is a good friend. It is really nice that we have both won it together."
Their neighbour Geoffrey Hoe, 75, who also won £111,111 quipped how the last thing he one was a 12-inch black and white TV in the 1970s.
He added: "We might look at a new car, the garage roof needs sorted and I’d like some block-paving at the front of the house.”
