Switched-on Doreen bags an LCD TV thanks to the Birmingham Mail

Sep 24 2009 by Catherine Lillington, Birmingham Mail

READER Doreen Hubball can turn on and tune in with the new LCD TV she won in the Birmingham Mail’s Match & Win competition.

The 75-year-old, from Belcher’s Lane, Washwood Heath, said she needed a new set but couldn’t afford one on her pension.

She said: “I’ve had my TV a few years and it’s got quite a big screen so I just make do. I like all the murder mystery shows like CSI. At my age I don’t get much excitement.”

The grandmother-of-four, who has the Mail every night, discovered she had won the competition when she had a missed call.

She said: “I phoned back and they said it was the Mail. I thought to myself ‘Am I going to be lucky?’”
