A woman who suffers from painful muscle condition and relies on a mobility car to get around has won hundreds of prizes after entering online competitions and completing crosswords.
Lucky Liz Denial, from Stapleford, Nottingham, has been able to kit out her home with prizes - which include a 37-inch LCD TV, a home cinema system, two X-boxes and hundreds of bottles of fancy toiletries and cleaning products.
The 51-year-old former bank worker has even bagged herself a five-star VIP holiday to Kenya.

And she has been able to top-up her luxury lifestyle after pocketing £16,500 on TV show Deal or No Deal.
Liz, who was forced to give up her job after developing painful muscle condition fibromyalgia, has won a prize every single day since since last October.
Liz said: 'I rely on winning prizes because I don't have a job and my mobility car is very expensive to run.

'Sometimes I have to pinch myself, because I can't believe how lucky I am. Maybe it is karma because I suffer from a lot of pain because of my condition.
'Some of the prizes are small things, like shampoo and cleaning products, but I've also won a 37-inch LCD TV, a home cinema system, two X-Boxes and two iPods.
'I sell the prizes I won't use, like the X-boxes, to my friends.

'When I won the trip to Kenya, I couldn't believe my luck - and I was even fortunate enough to bump into Dermot O'Leary and Olly Murs, who were taking part in a Red Nose Day climb of Mount Kilimanjaro.
'The wackiest prize I've won is definitely a life-size cardboard cut out of Ricky Gervais.
'When the postman delivered it, I didn't know what to do with it.
'Some of my prizes are very strange but others have made my life much easier and definitely more enjoyable.'
Liz met her best friend, Sandy Cox, from Cossall, after appearing on Deal or no Deal.
Sandy said: 'I enter competitions too but I'm nowhere near as lucky as Liz.
'I only won 10p on Deal or No Deal but Liz just keeps hitting the jackpot with everything she applies for.
'And she really deserves her prizes, she is a lovely woman.'
世上真有如此幸運的人! 英國一名婦女因病被迫放棄工作，但自去年十月起，她參加線上有獎益智和填字遊戲竟然天天都中獎，至今已獲得數以百計的禮物，令她生活無虞，堪稱全英國最幸運的女人。
據《每日郵報》報導指出，51歲的婦女莉茲(Liz Denial) 原在銀行工作，但因罹患纖維肌痛症（fibromyalgia）不得不放棄工作，甚至還得靠電動車代步，不過上天並沒有將她遺忘，自去年十月開始，她透過參加線上有獎益智遊戲和填字遊戲，竟然天天得獎，她曾得到的獎品包括37吋液晶電視、全套家庭影院設備、各種化妝品和清潔用品，甚至還得過英國至肯亞的五星級豪華遊，以及約值76萬台幣的現金大獎，中獎率直逼百分百。
莉茲表示因為自己沒有工作，而且電動車又很昂貴，所以目前主要是靠贏得獎項維生。對於幸運之神的如此眷顧，她說：「有時候我也會捏捏自己，因為我實在無法相信會如此好運，我想可能是上天補償我在這段疾病中所承受的痛苦吧！」
莉茲認為不斷地拿獎令她的生活充滿樂趣，不過她也承認，有些獎品不一定能發揮用處，所以那些獎品她會賣給朋友兌現，只是如果獎品太古怪，如真人尺寸的明星看板，就真的讓她透腦筋，不知該如何處理才好。
