One Small Decision Pays Off
A lucky punter, Chris Rose, 65, from Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, has revealed how he won £66,666 on the Postcode Lottery, despite not even living in the winning postcode. Chris's decision to keep playing with his old postcode paid off when the area came up in the draw.
Celebrating Retirement in Style
Chris, a car mechanic, is now looking forward to his upcoming retirement and plans to celebrate with an adventure holiday and investing in an original 1957 Lambretta scooter. He said, "I retire at the end of this month so this couldn't have come at a better time."
Double Win for Lift Engineer
Another lucky winner, Ken McNeill, 70, a lift engineer, won a whopping £133,332 thanks to having two tickets. Ken quickly made a video call to his son, Nigel, 42, at work to share the exciting news. Nigel, who had been working on elevators in North London, couldn't believe his dad's win.
A Life-Changing Amount
Nigel, who is self-employed, decided to put in a shift instead of waiting for the lottery officials to arrive at his door. However, when he saw the amount, he packed up his tools and drove home. Nigel plans to put a deposit on a house and treat his two children to a long overdue holiday.
A Family Affair
Nigel's parents, Ken and Jenny, also celebrated a "mind-blowing" win. Ken, a retired taxi driver, revealed that Nigel convinced him to start playing the lottery. He signed up with two tickets and won only weeks later. The couple, who haven't yet decided on a holiday destination, plan to take a break after a tough last six years.
Overall, it's clear that luck was on the side of these lottery winners. From Chris's small decision to keep playing with his old postcode to Ken's double win, dreams have come true and lives have been changed by the Postcode Lottery.
