AN NHS nurse from Wrexham has bagged herself a £50,000 dream car and cash prize bundle in an online competition.

Christine Ado has won a Renault 5 Iconic worth £30,000 alongside a £20,000 cash prize in BOTB’s weekly Dream Car Competition.

The 33-year-old was at home eating her breakfast when she received a visit from BOTB presenter Christian Williams, who surprised her with the exciting news.

“I can’t believe it,” Christine said. “I’ve never had so much money. This is such a life-changing win.

“I’m on cloud nine and the whole experience was surreal. I’ve only been playing a few weeks and playing for fun. I never expected to win.”

The fully electric Renault 5 Iconic boasts a 52kWh battery, a range of 255 miles, and heated seats – offering Christine and her family a stylish and sustainable way to get around.

And yet, it's not just the car she’s excited about. The mother-of-one plans to use part of her cash prize to visit her family in the Philippines and set some money aside for her son’s future.

“When I told my family, they were ecstatic for me,” she added. “The money will be a huge help, and we’ll put it towards securing my son’s future.”

Christian said: “It’s a huge win! Christine was completely shocked when we turned up at her door, and it’s easy to see why – this is an incredible prize.
