SINGLE mum Angela Buckley is set for the shopping spree of a lifetime after scooping a £3,000 win.

Mrs Buckley won a year's free shopping as the overall winner of a £4,400 competition in the Shuttle/Times and News.

The competition, sponsored by Sainsbury's, Kidderminster, attracted a record number of entries for our newspaper competitions as more than 5,000 readers put pen to paper to try to win a host of prizes. Angela Buckley is set for a year's shopping spree after winning £3,000 of vouchers in a Shuttle/Times and News competition.

Mrs Buckley, a social worker of Lobelia Close, Kidderminster, was one of 20 readers who shared a total of £1,400 in voucher prizes.

They, and their partners, were invited to a champagne evening at the Crossley Park superstore on Monday when the overall winner was picked to collect a top prize of vouchers worth £3,000.

Mrs Buckley said: "I am absolutely delighted.

"I have got two sons - Richard, 12, and Joseph, eight - and they have already spent the money for me!

"The cash I save on shopping will be used to buy games and possibly help with a holiday.

"I had won two small competitions the week before and feel as though I am on a winning streak - the £3,000 prize is a wonderful surprise."

Sainsbury's manager Vernon Dix, who took over the running of the store two months ago, said: "The competition marked the launch of plans to give the store a new look this summer with a major extension.

"With a host of price cuts it means that everyone who shops at Sainsbury's is a winner."
