A lottery winner has reflected on how her life has changed after completing a list of wishes she "could only ever previously have dreamt about".
Hartlepool woman Joanne Jobson immediately wrote down 12 things she wanted to do after clinching £10,000 a month for 30 years courtesy of The National Lottery's Set For Life jackpot in February of last year.
That list is now completely ticked off after she completed a Lake District cruise with relatives.
Joanne, a 52-year-old former carer for children with disabilities, said while enjoying the trip: "In the first year since my win I have done things I could only ever previously have dreamt about doing.
"And today, taking in the amazing scenery around the Lake District with the people who are closest to me, has been the perfect finale to one incredible year.
"It is something I have always wanted to do and talked about arranging but never actually got round to doing it.
