A teenager is celebrating after a streak of luck landed her a string of prizes.

Lucky Leigh Honour has been on cloud nine after winning a new laptop computer and an £11,000 Mini car within a couple of weeks.

And she earier won £300 of books in a contest run by our sister paper The Oxford Times.

Miss Honour, who is from Fencott, near Kidlington said: "It's amazing, my parents were gobsmacked when I won the car. They think I'm a lucky devil that I keep on winning things."

"I enter around two competitions a month. I don't go round looking for them, but if I see one I enter, because you have got to be in it to win it."

The 19-year-old, who is in the second year of a biochemistry degree at Sheffield University, won a £400 Dell laptop in March, after entering a contest at the university's freshers' fayre.

However she topped that feat last week, when her name was pulled out from 6,000 entries to win a new Cowley-built Mini in a contest run by the Eden shopping centre, in High Wycombe.

Miss Honour, a past pupil at the Cooper School, in Bicester, and Gosford Hill School, in Kidlington, added: "I just enter competitions for the fun of it. I never expect to win, especially something like a car.

"I have got an old Renault Clio already but this is a better quality car. It handles the road better, takes corners and it feels a bit safer too."

"It's a really cool, sporty car. My friends are quite jealous but they're very pleased for me.

"Some of my university friends are going to get a bit of a shock when I turn up to greet them in this though."

She won the new car in the same week her father, David, repeated her previous feat and won a £300 selection of books in a contest in The Oxford Times.

Miss Honour said: "The luck must be on my dad's side of the family."
