Sandra Devine, 36, accidentally won £300k – she intended to buy her usual £100 National Lottery Scratchcard, but came home with a much bigger prize.

The biggest jackpot ever to be up for grabs was £66million in January last year, which was won by two lucky ticket holders.

YouTuber and influencer Alysha Burney, 25, dies during birthday trip to Mexico as brother pays tribute to ‘classy woman’

A POPULAR YouTuber and social media influencer has tragically died while celebrating her birthday in Mexico.

Alysha Burney reportedly passed away in her sleep on March 2 – just a day before she was set to turn 25.

She reportedly died after having an asthma attack

Devastated brother Charles Burney confirmed the tragic news on social media.

He wrote in an Instagram post: “I come with great sadness that my little sister Alysha Burney has passed. Please allow our family time to grieve during this time.

“It is extremely difficult seeing all of the false narratives trying to defame her legacy.”

Charles, who was with Alysha when she passed away, said that she died after having an asthma attack while she was asleep.

He told FOX4: “She was a self-loving and happy individual who cherished her life and was looking forward to the upcoming year’s plans. She was in Mexico to celebrate her birthday.

“She was a very classy young woman.”

Slamming inline speculations about her sister’s tragic death, Charles said: “There’s a spread of misinformation online, stating different things based on speculation.

“These sources lack credibility and should not be believed. My sister did not engage in environments that would lead to such situations.”

Alysha had more than 5million followers across Instagram and TikTok.

Fans of the social media star flocked to the comments section to express their grief.

One person said: “Can’t believe we lost another angel today. like this, better be fake, she actually does no wrong.

“I can’t believe she’s gone, I refuse to believe.”

Another fan wrote: “Why I’m scrolling TikTok seeing that Alysha Burney passed? Say right now and quit playing.”

A third said: “Please tell me this is a lie?”

It comes after an OnlyFans model was mysteriously found dead at her home two weeks after losing contact with her family.

Cops discovered Juli Luxie, 21, at her apartment in Essonne, France, after her parents desperately feared for her wellbeing.

Her father sounded the alarm as he had not heard from his daughter – who was usually active on social media – in a fortnight.

Her dad also reported that Juli had been “depressed”, according to Le Parisien.

Cops revealed they discovered traces of blood and bottles of nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas”, in the apartment, just south of Paris.

Juli, originally from Pas-de-Calais, reportedly “consumed it in large quantities”.

These canisters of NOS, which is used as a recreational drug, were found in her home.

Nitrous oxide has also been known to lead to unconsciousness and hallucinations when inhaled.

Police revealed they launched an investigation into the OnlyFans star’s tragic death and will carry out an autopsy.

City-centre pub branded ‘one of the best’ shuts its doors for the final time

AN iconic pub has closed its doors for the last time leaving punters gutted.

The family-run Walnut Tree Shades in the centre of Norwich that has dates back to the 1850s went out with a bang on Saturday night.

Known for its live-music, the boozer was hugely popular with locals.

In a post on Facebook the pub wrote: “It’s our last week of the Walnut Treee Shades pub being what we know and love for many many years we are all very gutted.

“So come down, enjoy the pub as we know and enjoy a drink!”

The pub went all out on Saturday night to say goodbye with punters turning up in fancy dress to enjoy a last night of live music and pints before it closed for good.

The landlord and landlady behind the pub have confirmed that they are moving to another local pub in April.

“We hope to see all your lovely faces there, we will still be having bands, private functions and more!” they said on Facebook.

But, “the Walnut Tree Shades going forward won’t be how we know it and love it,” they added as they thanked musicians and customers for their support.

The Walnut Tree Shades landlords said that the pub is being converted into a sports bar, but according to a spokesperson from the Stonegate Pub Company that owns the boozer this is incorrect.

“The decision of what will happen next to the pub has not been made and we are currently looking to recruit a new publican on a temporary basis until the decision has been made on what the pub will be next,” a spokesperson said.

“We’re anticipating this decision to be made by the end of next week.”

The company decided to re brand the pub and moved the current landlords to The Reindeer in Dereham Road, another venue known for its music.

The current landlord, Louise Wilding announced that she would be leaving The Reindeer by the end of the month.

But even though the people behind the Walnut Tree Shades are moving, locals and employees are gutted.

Yasmin Clouting who worked for the boozer told Evening News: “The locals here are devastated.

“We have bands here every week and they bring in a good crowd.

“We’ve had to move all of these booked-in performances to the new site.”

On Facebook, locals shared their misery with one saying: “Such a shame. It’s an iconic city music pub.

“I’ve been playing there with various bands since the 1980s and it was a regular music spot long before that. Sad times.”

“What a let down for all the people that have ran the place, been to see bands & played The Walnut since the 1960’s. Tragic,” another said.

Others called it “one of the best”.

It is not the only historic pub to shut its doors this week with one in West Yorkshire dating back to 1610 closing down for good.

Six BEST classic cars that you can pick up on a budget starting at £3k – including open-top roadster & iconic hatchback

THESE are the six best classic cars you can pick up on a budget starting at £3,000 – including an open-top roadster and an iconic hatchback.

Research shows money can’t really buy happiness but rather experiences are what tickle our fancy.

And with that in mind, the Daily Telegraph has come up with a list of vintage motors that leave a lasting impression.

MGB – £3,000 to £6,000

The simple to run MGB, produced between 1962 and 1980, could be yours for as little as £3,000.

Simple to run and repair, the open-top roadster will tickle your eardrums with its classic engine roar, although it is incredibly susceptible to rust.

Parts are also readily available for the iconic motor, and while its later rubber-bumper models are cheaper, they are not as appealing as the earlier chrome-bumpered ones.

Good maintenance will ensure the motor remains tough and while the cheapest models will only set you back around £3,000, you might have to spend up to £4,000 to get one usable for daily drives.

If you’re keen for a good condition Roadster or GT, you’ll have to spend closer to £6,000.

Fiat 500 and Citroen 2CV – £5,000 to £7,000

The original city car, the Fiat 500 is an iconic classic that will draw looks wherever you go.

However, the tiny motor may not be ideal if you’re on the upper-end of heights, although some owners have called it “surprisingly roomy inside”.

You can get your hands on one for around £7,000, powered by a tiny twin-cylinder engine.

Similarly, you could grab a Citroen 2CV for less than £6,000, a classic French motor designed for the needs of farmers.

Also powered by a distinctive sounding twin-cylinder engine, the motor stands tall as one of Citroen’s most iconic vehicles.

Both motors are likely to suffer from rust but beyond that, they are considered solid classics for the modern age.

Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 – £7,000 to £12,000

As we enter five-figure prices, the quality of cars does begin to rise with it.

The nimble Peugeot 205 GTi was a complete game-changer when it hit the roads in 1984, capable of taking corners more smoothly than the other hot hatchbacks of the era.

Rivalling the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Ford Escort XR3i, this classic French motor is “fun, nippy, and easy to maintain”.

On top of that, its maintenance costs aren’t expected to be too high, and you can get your hands on a decent one for less than £10,000.

However, some electrical problems are to be expected, but none out of the ordinary for cars of the same era.

Jaguar XJS – £9,000 to £25,000

Jaguar is one of the best names in British motoring and its XJS deserves all the same love.

Produced between 1975 and 1996, the motor went through three distinct iterations, helping more than 115,000 units be sold.

While it may have been somewhat unloved in the past, its V12 and straight-six engines are incredibly resilient and let you drive in peace and quiet.

You can bag a decent one for £9,000, with collector’s versions coming in at £20,000 and up.

However, it should be noted that the XJS does struggle with fuel consumption and typical rust build-up behind its bumpers.

Porsche 911 (997 series) – £20,000 to £80,000

Topping off the list is the Porsche 911 (997 series) – a model that lies in one of the most iconic lines of car ever made.

These high-performance and valuable machines are often stored away but can make for easy driving on long road trips.

The 997 model, produced between 2004 and 2013, is a far cry from the original 911, first made in 1964, but still has the same core reliability and character of the original model.

You can get a fairly reliable one for just £20,000 but it’s recommended to get a mechanical inspection before you sink your cash in.

Top six classic cars you can grab on a budget

  • MGB – typically sells for between £3,000 and £6,000
  • Fiat 500 – typically sells for between £5,000 and £7,000
  • Citroen 2CV – typically sells for between £5,000 and £7,000
  • Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 – typically sells for between £7,000 and £12,000
  • Jaguar XJS – typically sells for between £9,000 and £25,000

Love Island stars SLAMMED as they share daughter’s autism diagnosis

LOVE Island stars Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt have been slammed after sharing their daughter’s autism diagnosis.

The couple, who rose to fame on the ITV2 show’s 2017 series, posted an emotional update on Instagram today, revealing the challenges their two-year-old daughter Nora has faced.

While their decision to open up about their journey was praised by some for raising awareness, others have criticised them for making such personal information public.

In the heartfelt post, Camilla shared a photo of Nora, who was smiling in a pink puffa jacket, as she walked in the sunshine.

Alongside the image, Camilla wrote a touching message about her daughter’s strength and perseverance in the face of autism, highlighting the hurdles Nora has overcome despite not yet reaching certain developmental milestones.

She penned: “Nora, our little darling. I often wonder what life must be like for you, having to get up and do things that you find hard every day.

“And not just that, but things that everyone else around you seems to find so easy.

“For every milestone we are yet to reach, or the ones that may not be for us at all, you just keep going, with a smile on your face and so, so much love in your heart.

“To determinedly keep doing things that are difficult with grace and good humour is something that many of the rest of us have spent a lifetime trying to master.

“Yet, that strength is already within you, and you go and get it every single day.

“So of course we will be excited for you in the milestone moments, but we are proud of you always.

“Last month you received your autism diagnosis and we know there are some very real challenges ahead for you, and that we will need to grow as parents to make sure we give you what we hope to give all our children; the tools to navigate spaces that are difficult for you, the empowerment to set boundaries that serve you and above all a happy life with every opportunity to be yourself.

“We see you, always trying to find the sunshine no matter what life brings, and we will be with you every step of the way to make sure it always finds a way through.

“We are so grateful to be your parents and for the love you and your siblings share, and for everyone who has supported and continues to support Nora and our family.”

Fans were quick to react on Reddit, with some highlighting that Nora may not be comfortable with her diagnosis being announced publicly as she grows older.

One wrote: “Good for them trying to normalise the conversation about autism, but imagine that girl showing up to high school later knowing every other kid can know deeply personal stuff about her with one Google search.”

Someone else said: “My child is awaiting autism assessment and it’s not particularly something I would share online. Having said that, I do follow lots of other parents with autistic children, as the NHS is so broken and getting the right help for your child is so difficult and complicated.

“I hope they’ll lean towards advocating for the services to be improved more than anything and to further normalise autism.”

A third pointed out: “As someone who discovered their own autism as an adult my initial reaction to them sharing this is not negative. I feel like they will be able to share realistic and compassionate approaches to parenting for their daughter while normalizing differences.

“Obviously other people will have different opinions. As far as it being her personal information out there on the internet… other kids will already know and they will know if they want to bully her about it.

“They will know by knowing her without a need for defining it with language. The information will probably cause more understand than disruption in her life growing up.”

Another asked: “I understand that autism awareness is important but at what point is your child’s privacy more important? The entire internet didn’t need to be told about this. At the very least they could’ve waited a few years so their child could actually consent to this.”

What is autism?

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an incurable, lifelong developmental condition that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others.

It affects around one in 100 people in the UK and is three to four times more common in boys than in girls.

Many people with ASD find it hard to understand other people’s feelings and emotions, and they may have difficulty holding conversations.

When they are young, their language development may take longer and they can struggle to use facial expressions, using gestures to communicate instead.

They may also find it hard to connect with other people and to hold eye contact with unfamiliar individuals.

Many children with ASD like to follow a routine, and changes to this can cause distress.

High functioning autism is an informal term some people use to describe those on the autism spectrum disorder.

OPENING UP

Previously, Camilla praised Nora for being “on her own timeframe.”

She tried to reassure fans, urging them to recognise that babies all develop at different paces.

The reality TV star told her social media following of Nora in 2024: “She’s very much on her own timeframe for everything, although I’ve only touched on gross motor development on here before. 

“She doesn’t speak – about 8 months ago she said ‘Dada’ for the first time and then overnight she stopped and hasn’t said it since. She has never said ‘Mama’.

“Day to day we are still working on her cutlery and practical skills.” 

Thanking her health visitors for their assessments, referrals and support, Camilla continued: “I want Nora to know she can be a baby for as long as she wants or needs to. 

“We are very proud of how she is steadfastly moving through the world at her own pace.

“The last thing I want is for her to grow up thinking that life is a race, or that she needs to be the fastest, smartest, funniest or loudest person in the room to be worthy of love.”
