Fraserburgh hairdresser wins £138k Range Rover with bonus cash in the boot {{favouriteCount}}

Jacqueline Maitland, 58, of JM Styling Mobile Hairdresser in Albert Street, said she “couldn’t believe it” when she found out she was the winner.

Jacqueline had entered a BOTB online competition to win a Range Rover P550e Autobiography worth £138,555. BOTB presenter Christian Williams travelled to Scotland to surprise Jacqueline with the good news. The shocked hairdresser said: “When I saw Christian it felt so weird. I knew him because I’ve watched him so many times surprising other winners, but I couldn’t quite believe it.

“Things like this don’t usually happen to people like me.”

And the surprise did not end there as she then discovered there was also £20,000 in cash hidden in the boot. The award has been life-changing for the Fraserburgh hairdresser, who explained she was experiencing financial difficulties.

The mother-of-three said: “This win means everything to me. I can finally help my kids and feel some relief.

“The past few years have been tough, so this has come at a very good time.”

Although Jacqueline said Range Rovers are “amazing cars”, the Aberdeenshire resident admitted she may never drive it.

She is considering taking the cash alternative to buy a smaller car.

“I think if I was to drive the new Range Rover, I would be a menace, so I might get something that is cheap to run,” she said.

She continued: “I would also use the money to pay off my mortgage and there is also the possibility now that I can go and visit my eldest daughter who lives in Australia.

“The flights are so expensive, so it is not something I thought I would ever be able to afford.”
