First year Glasgow University fresher Tia Caldwell, 18, won the big cash prize through a Clyde 1 radio competition last Thursday afternoon.
The competition, known as 'Cash Register', is hosted on the radio every day live on air.
If the player then states the correct amount, they win, but if you are phoned by Clyde 1, you must answer before the fifth ring otherwise you forfeit the prize. When the phone rang on Thursday Tia had been watching 'She's the Man' - and didn't believe it was real. The Clyde 1 radio host on the phone told Tia it was her lucky day and began to ask her questions.
When asked what she plans to do with the money, Tia said she recently passed her driving test and plans to buy a car.
