Co Antrim Woman Wins Bank Job
A County Antrim woman won £150K at the weekend after competing in Channel 4 show The Bank Job.
Oonagh McMullan pocketed £150,000 on the finale of the live show, as did two other contestants.
The show hosted by George Lamb saw three contestants walk away with a share of £450k after the other two contestants chose to hand each other a briefcase full of trash rather than cash.
The rules of the show stipulate that in a case like this the other contestants share the money. The contestants and host appeared visibly shocked at the tactics of the two players who handed back trash rather than cash.
Northern Irish contestant, Ms McMullan, told the Belfast Telegraph that she was ecstatic to win such a large sum of money and could not wait to pay her mortgage off.
