Chorley mother of five Beth Jones gets Asda shop paid for with strangers' £500 scratch card winnings
“They told me that they had won £500 on a scratch card and that they would pay for my whole shopping bill”
She said:"I was at a loss and didn’t know what to do when the two ladies behind me in the queue told me that they had won £500 on a scratch card and that they would pay for my whole shopping bill. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. These two lovely ladies have restored my faith in humanity. When I told my mum she started crying as well.”
Because of the kind deed, Beth was able to buy her son Tommy, 3, a couple of presents for his birthday a few days later and that the gesture has changed her mindset and she now wants to “pass the niceness on”. She added: “The cost of living is ridiculous. It costs anywhere between £200 to £300 every two weeks to do a food shop for my family.
"The ladies paid for my shopping with Scottish notes but they themselves didn’t have a Scottish accent. I would like to say to them if they are reading this, thank you! You have no idea the difference it made to my son’s birthday and also to my mental health. There are still some amazing people in this world and good karma is on the way to you both.”
