A woman who walked away an instant millionaire after winning the jackpot in a new TV game show, says, “It feels like a dream”.
Sienna Mcswiggan, from Halesowen, was working as a hotel manager in the West Midlands before she scooped the £1m top prize after correctly guessing a question on ITV’s new show WIN WIN.
The 20-year-old has now quit her job and plans to start her own business with her winnings – and buy a pink car.
Speaking to BBC Radio WM, she said: “I honestly can’t believe it. It feels like a dream. I have said so many times it just doesn’t feel real. It’s crazy, mind-blowing.
“I want to start a business, invest a lot, also buy my mum a house, buy my own house and a pink car.”
As well as the money, Ms Mcswiggan also won a BMW 1 Series, a holiday to Orlando with £5,000 spending money, a trip to Australia to see The Ashes, and a five-star all-inclusive holiday to the Maldives.
She has since posted a video on social media of the moment she told her mum, Lisa Turner, which has amassed more than two million views and 140,000 likes.
Ms Turner said: “I was waiting for Sienna to come home. I didn’t think she had won anything. I spoke to her in the day, and she sounded upset, but that’s just Sienna; she was ready to surprise me.
“I was just in shock, overwhelmed.” Ms Turner added of her daughter’s win this month.
When asked what her advice would be to other people thinking about entering a game show, Ms Mcswiggan said: “Just do it, have the confidence, and don’t care what anyone else thinks.”
