L-driver Linda wins car

From the Evening Press, first published Saturday 26th Apr 2003.

LUCKY Linda Swallow has won a shiny new car in a prize draw - but she can't even drive!

Linda, from Knapton, is a renal dialysis assistant working in Easingwold. She won the Citroen C3 car with just a £2 stake in the York Health Services NHS Trust staff draw. Despite her lack of a licence, Linda was overjoyed. She said: "I could not believe it when I was told. It's a lovely surprise."

The win has given Linda an added incentive to bin her `L' plates, and she now has a driving test booked.

The trust prize draw has been taking place since 1991, and raises money to improve amenities.
