In a month-long Wimbledon themed competition Puzzle Digest offered the opportunity for UK entrants to win £1000 tax-free cash!

The competition which was completely free to enter asked compers to find the surname of a famous tennis player in a crossword (with the answer being ‘Federer’!)

From all the correct answers submitted, we used a random name generator to choose our winner. From that, we were pleased to announce Gillian Herrington, 56 from Fife as our eventual winner.

When we telephoned Gillian to inform her of the good news, Gillian who lives with her husband James was overwhelmed by her win.

Gillian said:

"The team at Puzzle Digest have been really great and it was such a surprise to hear about my win, I can’t believe it"

"I enter about 4 or 5 competitions a week but have only won about £20. Receiving a call from Puzzle Digest to inform me of my £1000 win was incredibly exciting! I honestly cannot believe it!"

Gillian plans to spend the money on a much-deserved holiday and share some of her newfound wealth with her sister and husband... the lucky pair.
