Line-dancing Joyce scoops £200k
A line-dancing gran is planning a dream trip to the USA after scooping £200,000.
Joyce Butchart, 68, is heading for Nashville following her massive win in the People's Postcode Lottery.
The gran of three, from Kilmarnock, landed her share of a £1 million prize by showing off a couple of moves in the middle of her street.
And for the foster carer, who has been teaching line dancing for 29 years, her trip of a lifetime is finally within reach.
She said: "It's unbelievable.
"It's life-changing for us.
"When I saw the amount it was absolutely amazing. My legs went to jelly.
"My life is line dancing. I've taught line dancing for almost 30 years, and I've always wanted to go to Nashville. And now... I'm going."
Joyce, along with four of her neighbours, shared the £1m Millionaire Street prize when the KA3 2QH postcode was revealed as the winner on Sunday.
Each winning ticket was worth a whopping £200k - marking the seventh postcode to win £1 million in the last week.
