Lydia Belmont

Lydia Belmont was a cook at Henrik's Green Glade Café. She regularly entered the lottery syndicate that Bernie Wilson organised with the same numbers, a combination of her house number and various birthdays, including Chris Rea's.

On 2 March 2005, she won the £16.2 million but didn't realise for a few days as Bernie had been keeping the lottery money for himself instead of buying tickets. When she realised, Bernie stalled for a few days promising her on the ticket on the fifth. He planned to blow up the shop to explain why he didn't have the ticket but was killed by Autons. The Ninth Doctor blew it up instead to destroy the Nestene nest on the fourth. When she was refused entry to the shop after the disaster, she was hysterical and screamed at the security guard that she should be rich. (PROSE: Rose)
