A level-headed teenager has vowed to move her cash-strapped family out of their council home after scooping over a million pounds on the lottery.

Sensible Stacey Bywater, 18, became one of the youngest winners in the history of The National Lottery when she claimed 1,117,779 pounds in the draw.

The windfall is made all the more remarkable because the kind-hearted nursery nurse, who can now afford to leave behind the council house she currently shares with her parents and younger sister, said her dad had seen the life-changing event in a dream just two months earlier.

Charming Stacey, who is carrying on working with children, started looking for a new house the day after her six numbers came in and she also hopes to buy a property for older sister Kirsty – a single parent who lost her job at at a department store.

The only luxurious thing the extraordinarily mature teen has decided to splash her new found cash on is a Mini Cooper – if she first passes her driving test.
