I'm sure she became a Jehovas Witness later on in life, could be wrong. A little story hereon about Viv,what my dad told me about when she won the money, My Dad was manager of J.H.Taylors Furniture store on Carlton street in Cas in the late 50s through to early 70's and Viv Nicholson and her husband was a customer who had bought some furniture on HP and she was slightly behind on payments.
He had been chasing her up on arrears just as she won the money. She marched into the shop after winning ,stuck 2 fingers up at him and told him GGF, i'm not paying ,come and repossess the furniture.
The strange thing about Viv winning the money, is that around 15 months after she won the pools jackpot, my uncle Ken, my Dad's youngest brother, also won £28,000 on Littlewoods pools,not an insignificant sum back in 1963.
