House Proves Lucky Twice for Lottery Winner
A woman named Melissa Setchfield has won a life-changing prize of £58,823 in the Postcode Lottery. Interestingly, Melissa reveals that this is not the first time her house has helped her land a big win. She met her husband John when she sold him the house 27 years ago, and now they are celebrating another stroke of luck together.
Winnings to Commemorate Silver Wedding Anniversary
Melissa and John, who live in Peterborough, plan to use their winnings to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. Melissa has her sights set on a new kitchen and a holiday, particularly a trip to New York. She also wants to give a helping hand to their 22-year-old son, Nathan, and believes the prize money will make a big difference in their lives.
A Short-Term Treat for the Couple
While Melissa has her long-term plans, John is thinking more short-term. He wants to enjoy takeaways from their local Chinese restaurant. Specifically, he mentioned his usual order of a chicken omelette, chips, sweet and sour chicken balls, and spare ribs.
Other Winners and Heartbreaking Reality
Melissa and John were not the only lucky ones in their neighborhood. A total of 14 residents hit the jackpot, including Caroline Buist, who won the exact same amount as Melissa. However, Caroline's win comes with a bittersweet reality. Her husband, who had been paying £12 a month to play, passed away last year. Despite his absence, Caroline plans to fulfill all the dreams they had if they ever won the lottery. She sees the win as a way to honor her late husband and make the most out of her retirement.
