A tea maker from Somerset has won a new car and cash prize worth more than £50,000.
Natalia Luberda, from Chard, won a Ford Focus ST Edition worth £42,905 in BOTB’s Dream Car Competition.
The 28-year-old, who works in a tea factory, was on a day off and relaxing at home when she received a surprise visit from BOTB presenter Christian Williams.
Christian announced she was this week’s winner and surprised her with her new car, which was parked nearby.
But the surprise didn’t end there, as Christian also revealed that the car came with £10,000 cash hidden in the boot.
On winning the prize, she said: “I never win anything, so I’m still in shock, but it feels absolutely amazing.
“I’ve been looking to get a car upgrade for a while now, and I’ve been playing for all sorts of cars.
“I dreamt this would happen one day, but never realistically thought Christian would knock at my door. I was so happy because I was looking forward to meeting him in person.”
The Focus ST Edition features an i4 Turbo engine, 276bhp and top speed of 155mph. But Natalia said she was considering taking the cash alternative.
“I’ll probably put the money towards getting myself a car that’s reliable and cheap to run. I would also love to go back to Greece on holiday,” she added.
Christian said: “It was so nice to be able to surprise Natalia with this stunning prize worth more than £50,000.
“It’s an all-singing, all-dancing best spec Focus you can get right now.
“I know she’s been on the lookout for a new motor for some time, so her big win has certainly come at the right time.”
