A woman who won the biggest jackpot since the Deal or No Deal reboot is yet to receive her prize money.

Contestant Nay Nay won a whopping £75,000 on the ITV show and is still 'lost for words' following her victory which aired on 3 January.

The paralegal from Hackney will have to wait until March for the prize money to drop, according to the Metro, but the Londoner doesn't mind in the slightest.

If anything, it gives her a little more time to plan what to do with the money.

"All the emotions came back," she recalled to the outlet.

"I started crying again when I was watching it, just because it’s a life-changing amount of money.

"My strategy was my faith.

"I knew I was going to the end so my main thing is I wanted to ensure that I had fun, which I definitely did.

"I mean, my game was so fun. I remember screaming, crying, laughing, and it was just amazing."

Nay Nay also isn't bothered by the fact that on the original show on Channel 4, contestants could receive a jackpot of up to £250,000, whereas in the ITV version, it's been cut by £150,000.

"When I went on the show it was more than just about the money," she explained.

"For me, it was just about following faith, having a new experience and meeting the people that I would have never met before. I’ve met some friends for life; we’re all going to go on holiday together.

"The experience is more than money can buy. The money is just a bonus."

One of her highlights was a message she received from an elderly lady who 'said she was a grandma herself, and she saw my grandma on the TV, and she was just watching my game alone and said it restored her faith.'

"That just made me so happy: to inspire someone by being yourself and by having faith," she added.

Commenting on the history-making episode, one viewer said: "I am not a tv watching guy, but I happened to catch #DealOrNoDeal on ITV. What a game this lady, Nay Nay had. She went right to the end. Turning down deal after deal, right up to declining an £82,700 offer for her box. She eventually walked away with £75,000! More than enough for a deposit on her flat! Good game!"

LADbible Group has contacted ITV for comment.
