A gameshow contestant who had a penny in her account before her big win said telling her mum she was a millionaire was ‘the best feeling in the entire world’.
Sienna McSwiggan from Halesowen scooped a seven-figure jackpot on ITV’s Win Win with People’s Postcode Lottery on Saturday, October 11.
She also secured two cars, two luxury getaways, a trip to Australia to watch The Ashes and tickets to see Take That in concert.

Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins host the interactive quiz show, which gave contestants the opportunity to swap their prizes for a spot on the grand final’s Millionaire’s Row over the past five weeks.
Last month, viewers saw Sienna decline the offer of a holiday in the Maldives, choosing instead to gamble for the jackpot – a decision that paid off as she saw off competition from 18 other finalists.
Following her win, Sienna told Mel and Sue: “I’ve literally got a penny in my account.
“I’m over the moon. It doesn’t feel real.
“It feels like I’m in a dream and someone’s gonna wake me up in a minute.
“Life is really hard at the moment. The cost of living… It is a struggle.
“I’ve not grown up with privileges. At my age, it’s so hard to decide what you want do in life.
“It’s difficult to even get on the property ladder.
“I don’t have any savings. I have no idea about how the hell I’m gonna buy a house. This will help so much.”

The 20-year-old has now shared the sweet moment she told her mum, Lisa, the good news.
Alongside the footage of her delivering the news, she wrote: “Nothing like this ever happens to us… for everything she’s done for me, I did this for her.”
Sienna continued: “Telling my mum who has gone through so much that I’ve won a million pounds on a TV show is the best feeling in the entire world.”
The clip sees Lisa open her front door to Sienna, who says: “I’ve won. I’m a millionaire.”
The duo and another relative scream with delight.
Lisa then gives her daughter a hug and asks: “Are you alright?
“I’ve been worried about you so much. I can’t believe it!”
More than two million TikTok users have viewed the video, with one commenting: “Congratulations enjoy life a little more…
“But these moments with you family are worth billions.”
A second said: “Take her to get her hair nails etc done and pamper her. Mums run the world.”
A third wrote: “So it really does happen to everyday normal people.
“Well done enjoy and you and your family absolutely deserve this.
“We all live in hope that’s all we can do, keep on hoping.”
