Only Receives a Quarter of the Winnings
A woman who spent £3 on the lottery while enjoying a drink at the pub has won a £300,000 jackpot, but only received a quarter of it.
Friends Celebrate Together
Julie Towse and her civil partner Karen Baylis, along with their friends Ann Swallow and Julie Boocock, each chipped in the small sum five years ago.
£1 Million Jackpot Win
The group has now all ended up celebrating after scooping a share of the £1 million jackpot in the People's Postcode Lottery's Millionaire Street prize.
Big Plans for the Winnings
Julie and Karen plan on upgrading a holiday to Australia next July. They are taking Julie's sister Alison Howson to see her daughter Gemma Tilse, who is expecting her second child in January.
Helping Family Members
Julie and Karen have also vowed to help out their two nieces with the winnings.
Friends Have Their Own Plans
The other half of the foursome, Ann and Julie Boocock, also have big plans when they split the cash – worth over £83,333 each.
Sharing the Excitement
Ann Swallow broke down as she told how she'll treat her son and two grandsons. The retired market trader is thrilled to win with her friends and help her family.
A Dream Come True
Julie Boocock said she never imagined winning such a large sum of money. She plans to use the winnings for home improvements and a gold walking stick.
Celebrating Together
Julie, Karen, Ann, and Julie are all founder members of a group of friends called 'The Staying Alive Gang'. They have already booked a villa to go to Center Parcs in Sherwood Forest next March and might ramp up the break now.
