Honeymoon at Last after £30,000 Postcode Lottery Win

Carla Shaw from Mildenhall in Surrey, England got married last October. However, she’s not been able to go on her honeymoon yet. That’s all changed after a £30,000 People’s Postcode Lottery Street Prize win.

The mother-of-two came out with a rather common statement. “I’ve never won anything before, and I know everyone says that but honestly I’m not a lucky person.”  Then she told how her non-stop smiling had caused her mouth to hurt.

A Romantic Tale

47-year-old Carla will forever be grateful that her postcode is 1P28 7DQ as that’s what won her the £30.000. Her win comes eight months after she married her childhood sweetheart, Matt. Now the couple want to use some of the win to go on a special trip.

The People’s Postcode Lottery winner told how Matt was her first boyfriend when she was 15. Her romantic tale continued as she recalled how “we went our separate ways then met up again four and a bit years ago.”

Maldives Here We Come!

The couple are yet to go on a honeymoon but that will all change after this £30,000 People’s Postcode Lottery win. “I would love to go to the Maldives so that’s definitely an option for the future.” Her two children, 25 and 17, will be smiling too. Their mum is planning to pay for driving lessons and a car.

A big celebration was also planned. “We’ll have a takeaway, a Chinese banquet, and a bottle of prosecco, maybe two," said the lucky winner.

When finding out about her win Carla said:“I don’t think I’ve been this happy since my wedding day!” Whether she smiled so much on her wedding day that her mouth ached isn’t known.

Her good news was revealed to the teaching assistant by People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Jeff Brazier. It was a zoom chat that the 47-year-old will never forget. He said of her win: “I’m chuffed for Carla and hope she and Matt can now have the honeymoon of their dreams thanks to the win.
