The Jackpotjoy Deal or No Deal jackpot has been won and it's a new record. Sadly it didn't make the million pound mark, but that perhaps won't worry 27 year old winner Emira B from Dewsbury who won a staggering life changing £965,728, over £330,000 more than the game’s previous record! No doubt Jackpotjoy will be doing plenty of publicity with the winner, but just days after the win they caught up with Emira to see how she was feeling about her huge Deal or No Deal win!
"I’m in shock. It’s unbelievable. I’ve just told my family. They sort of believe me! They didn’t even know that I played. I told them to look and that I’d won the Jackpot. It’s not sunk in yet. Oh my God."
Having beaten the banker, Emira now has to plan how she spends the money, however she told Jackpotjoy "I haven’t an idea what I’ll spend the money on ye but me and my family will be sorted. I’ve got to go to work tomorrow but I don’t know if I’ll go. I work as a beauty therapist in a salon. Hopefully I’ll get my own now. I can’t believe it!"
Our congratulations go out to Emira. Another day and the jackpot would have broken the million pound boundary - perhaps in 2008 Jackpotjoy will see their first Deal or No Deal millionaire?
