Trolley well done Michelle, you cut quite a dash at supermarket

IT'S a supermarket sweep!

Lucky pensioner Maureen Hackett was the winner of the RSPCA Sheffield branch's Grand Summer Raffle and her prize was a three-minute trolley dash around a supermarket.

Tesco on Infirmary Road were only too happy to let Maureen go wild in the aisles but having just recently turned 70, she thought daughter Michelle might be a bit quicker off the mark and asked her to do the dash for her.

Maureen said: "I have just celebrated my 70th birthday so this was a fantastic late birthday present for me and my family.

"I couldn't believe it when the RSPCA told me I had won."

Michelle managed to grab a whopping 422 worth of goods in the three minutes allowed – including sherry and a tub or two of anti-ageing cream.

Michelle said: "I was so nervous before doing the dash I'd been dreaming about it the night before."

Kate Payton, general manager for the RSPCA in Sheffield, said: "We were thrilled when Tesco said they could help us with this prize – we cannot exist without the help and support of local businesses.

"We are even more delighted that Mrs Hackett won, it couldn't have happened to a nicer person."
