CLITHEROE pensioner Mrs Agnes Pollard regularly entered the prize competition in her Sunday newspaper, even though husband Ernest often told her: “You’ll never win anything.” And this week Mrs Pollard, of Henthorn Road, had the last laugh when she heard that her optimism had paid a handsome dividend — top prize of £2,000 in the contest, run by the Sunday People. “I can’t believe it — I’m
shaking all over,” was her reaction when news of her win
was broken to her on behalf of the People by an Advertiser reporter. “I have always been keen on
competitions but I have never won anything before except a small prize in a crossword contest.” Mrs Pollard, who is 64, and her husband (72) are keeping
cool about their win. “We will put the money safely away and have a long think before we decide to use it,” they say. "But this is the best tonic
