Scotsman London (UK):
A mystery woman yesterday claimed she won £1.5 million on the National Lottery - but has never told her husband. The woman, a mother-of-two who gave her name as Jane, called a radio show to reveal her astonishing secret.
For the past three years she has hidden her fortune from colleagues, friends and family. Her husband had a drug problem 15 years ago and she fears a change of lifestyle brought about by the huge windfall would tempt him back to his old ways.
She also worries he would give up work and start demanding luxury holidays. "Jane" has remained in her job and, if she ever splashes out on treats for the family, tells her husband she has had a pay rise or bonus. The woman revealed her extraordinary story on BBC Radio Five Live yesterday morning.
