KEEPING her eye on the ball has paid off for one lucky Ipswich woman.

June Griffiths, is celebrating today after netting a cash prize with Littlewoods Football Pools of almost £69,000.

Mrs Griffith scooped the cash after playing the pools game when she predicted seven score-draws and one no score-draw from the 49 fixtures.

The win was the second time Mrs Griffiths had found her luck was in, as she had also previously won £900 playing the Littlewoods Lotto game.

Mrs Griffiths has played the pools game for 2 years and after collecting her prize said: “I can't believe I won, I was absolutely stunned when I got the call.

“I have been quite lucky really, first with Littlewoods Lotto and now the pools and lotto. Hopefully I will make it three in a row!”

Mrs Griffiths was handed her winnings of £68,956.73 at a presentation at Ipswich Town's Portman Road football ground.

Jon Sheehy, of Sportech PLC, owner of Littlewoods Football Pools said: “We are delighted for Mrs Griffiths! It is fantastic when we hear that a customer has been lucky playing both our pools and lotto games.

“Maybe she will strike it lucky a third time! In the meantime, I hope she really enjoys spending her cash.”

Founded in 1923 as Littlewoods Pools, the company has a regular playing customer base covering 1.5 million households.
