A BRADFORD teaching assistant has become the third winner of the Telegraph & Argus Christmas cash giveaways.

Dawn Gransbury, 54, of Fairweather Green, scooped the £250 prize and plans to put the money towards a holiday next year.

Mrs Gransbury, who works at Thornton Grammar School, said she had entered a number of T&A competitions before, but this was her first win.

"I'm very happy, it was a really nice surprise," she said.

"Every little bit helps at this time of year.

"I'll put the money in the bank for the time being, but hopefully it'll go towards a nice holiday next year, though I'm not sure where yet.

"I couldn't believe I had won, it was a lovely surprise at Christmas."
