Listening to Granny Leads to £71,428 Postcode Lottery Win

Always listen to your granny. That’s probably what Peter Beer from Rugeley in Staffordshire, England used to be told. He did just that and has won a £71,428 Postcode Lottery prize.

You see it was his late grandmother who suggested he sign up for the game. Sadly, she passed away six years ago, but her grandson raised a glass  to her when finding out about his win.

Peter owns a computer repair firm and said of his win: “My gran would be over the moon.” He was one of 11 winners who shared a £1 million Postcode Lottery prize.  One player had three tickets and won £214,284. A woman  accidentally  purchased two Postcode Lottery tickets for a draw  and ended up winning £250,000.

Holiday time but where?

The generous winner plans to do some home improvements for his parents. He will also treat his partner, Zara to a holiday but they haven’t decided on a destination yet. David and Pat Colgan  went to the Caribbean thanks to their Postcode Lottery win.

Glenda Cowley and her partner Tony Law are holding a double celebration. Both had tickets so their Postcode Lottery winners are £142.956. Tony has his partner to thank for his win as it was she who persuaded him to start playing.

Boring

Glenda wants to buy a new car with her winnings. Just what type is yet to be decided but it will definitely be yellow just like one she had several years ago. “The car I’ve got  is burgundy, and it's a bit boring, really,” said the lucky winner. Her family is also going to be treated and the couple are planning a holiday.

They love Scotland but across the road, Margaret Humphries also won £71,248 and wants to go to Colwyn Bay in England where she hasn’t been since she was a teenager.

Her sister-in-law Alice Boot.will be joining Margaret. The pair are good friends and the Postcode Lottery winner says “to me she’s my sister.”  They will also be taking a trip to Lanzarote.
