A Shaftesbury gran has hit the jackpot after winning a lifetime supply of her favourite ice cream which will see her receive 26 litres every year.

Margaret Pitman was victorious in Mackie's of Scotland's summer campaign competition, 'Mackie's Moments', which asked individuals across the UK to share how and where they enjoy ice cream.

More than 40,000 entries were received during the promotion one of the largest responses to an on-pack and online competition that Mackie's of Scotland has ever had.

Margaret intends to share the prize with her two grandchildren, Rachael and Hailey, who are huge fans of the Aberdeenshire brand. She said: "When I received the phone call from Mackie's, I couldn't believe I'd won the competition it was a fantastic surprise.

"My family are ice cream fanatics and we already always have a tub of Mackie's in the house so this will go down well especially with my grandchildren whose favourite flavour is Traditional.

"This lifetime supply will mean there will be more than enough for our regular family gatherings which I'm exceptionally grateful for and look forward to tucking into."

Margaret first tasted Mackie's when on a holiday in Scotland with her husband many years ago and their favourite flavours are Traditional and Honeycomb, which can be found nationwide in Sainsbury's stores.

Margaret will receive one tub of ice cream every fortnight for the rest of her life which Mackie's hope will bring a little lift to every month.
