I have been entering every week since it was \u00a3180,000. It’s life-changing, I can’t believe it. Thank you very much!”<\/p>\n Gemma responded: “You do sound really, really shocked.”<\/p>\n Pete added “I am, I can’t believe it, I’ve never won anything in my life.”<\/p>\n Entrants have to answer within five rings to win the prize.
