A Gosport nursery teacher has won a Lamborghini in an online competition.
Sharon Hoskins, 47, scooped a Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 worth £130,000, along with a £20,000 cash prize in BOTB’s weekly Dream Car Competition.
Sharon said: "You’re joking me. I’m absolutely gobsmacked."
The surprise was delivered in person by BOTB presenter Christian Williams, who met Sharon at work with the Lamborghini parked nearby.

Sharon said: "The day was a blur, but it was an amazing experience.
"I’ve seen a couple of videos of other people winning, but you think it’s never going to happen to you."
She had entered the competition just six months earlier and said it cost her just £3.15 to take part.
While she was thrilled by the win, Sharon is considering taking the cash alternative, saying the supercar isn’t practical for everyday use.
She said: "I would have loved the car, but it’s not practical.
"We’ll be car shopping this weekend, are going to book a family holiday to Italy, go for a big family meal, and will invest the rest."
Sharon also joked that she no longer needs to work, thanks to her win.
BOTB presenter Christian Williams said: "It was incredible to see Sharon’s reaction.
"She was genuinely overwhelmed and full of joy.
"Moments like these are exactly why we love surprising our winners."

She said: "The Lamborghini is stunning, and with the added cash prize, she has some amazing options ahead."
