Double Celebration for Postcode Lottery Winners
Double Celebration for Postcode Lottery Winners
Receiving one great piece of news is always very special. For Susan and Colin Tallon from Great Sankey in Warrington, England, they had double joy including news of a £62,500 Postcode Lottery win.
Double joy
That windfall wasn’t the only announcement made that day. They had earlier discovered that their daughter was pregnant with their first grandchild. The couple from the North of England have been married for 45 years after meeting in South Africa. Reacting to that news Colin said: “I thought we’d never be grandparents. I always wanted to be a grandparent but now it’s come true.”
Both of them had won a £31,250 Postcode Lottery prize. It was all a bit of a shock for Susan who said: “Oh my god, help me. I’m having kittens.”The jubilant winner added: “I’m feeling over the moon. I could climb Mount Everest.”
All this good news comes after a difficult year for the couple with Colin being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The couple have already got an upcoming holiday in Benidorm to look forward to. Thanks to this Postcode Lottery win that’s now going to be extended by another week.
Anniversary treats
Another lucky winner was Ann who scooped £31,250 despite not living in the winning postcode. She sold her house six years ago but kept her old postcode when entering the draw.
Ann and her husband Joe are about to celebrate their 51st wedding anniversary so will have a big celebration now. They will also treat their four children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Return to Florida
Their house was bought by Leah and her husband Matthew and they also won a £31,250 Postcode Lottery prize.
It’s a welcome change of luck after a year of accidents, surgery and a cancelled holiday to Fuerteventura. The couple had been out the night before and didn’t get home until 2am. When the knock came on the door by the presentation team Leah was still in her pyjamas. A return family trip to Florida is now being planned by the couple.
