A LUCKY shopper is celebrating after winning a trip for two to New York City.

Tayla Mirkovic from Littlehampton won the all-expenses-paid, four-night trip to the city that never sleeps after entering a competition using the Brighton Life app.

It was part of a “come fly with me” event at Churchill Square shopping centre in Brighton last month.

The mall was transformed into an airport departure lounge to help get shoppers holiday-ready.

Tayla, 21, said: “I can’t believe I’ve won.

“When I found out I was completely shocked but now it’s hit me that we’ll be going, my boyfriend and I have been planning on exactly what we want to do.

“It’s an iconic city and a trip that we never thought we’d be able to take so we’re trying to figure out exactly where we’re going and what we’re doing.

“We will be squeezing in as much as we possibly can.

“I’m so grateful.”
