A Banff woman was in tears this afternoon as she was told she is now a millionaire.

Support worker Sheila Ross was at work when Bounty Competition owners, Turriff couple Calvin and Leanne Davidson, called her to say she had won £1 million in their biggest-ever giveaway.

They launched a live-stream video on their Facebook page and website at exactly 4pm, showing them drawing the winner’s name.

The organisers used an online number generator to pick a winning number out of 142,000 entries

Thousands of people were watching on Facebook, Tik Tok and Youtube, waiting patiently for the announcement to be made.

Before picking a ticket number at random using an online generator, the couple said: “We’ve never done anything like this draw before and we will probably never do it again.”

Calvin said: “I’m shaking.”
