Night at the Ritz for £405,462 Postcode Lottery Winner

A night at The Ritz hotel is being planned by a £405,462 Postcode Lottery winner from Otley in West Yorkshire, England.

The lucky player was one of two who won that amount in the Millionaire Street prize draw. Both of the winners have asked to remain anonymous.

When being told of their fantastic Postcode Lottery win, the delighted player said they couldn’t believe they’d won such a huge amount of money.

Nearly canceled

It’s a win that almost didn’t happen as they had nearly decided to cancel their Postcode Lottery ticket. Thankfully they decided not to do so,

Looking to celebrate their windfall, the lucky player contacted the famous London hotel looking to book one of their legendary afternoon teas. Then they thought to themselves, “we could even stay there, couldn’t we?”

Robert said his luck must have been karma after he’d recently helped an American tourist. He was having a break in St Andrews and paid the man’s car parking fee. He only had a £10 note on him but the meter only accepted change.

The American said he’d give them £10 if they gave him some change for the meter. In reply, Robert said he’d give him some change but didn’t want the £10. In reply, the tourist told him that “something good” would happen to him.

A week later, the retired Tunnock's bakery maintenance engineer found out about his Postcode Lottery win. Jo from Sussex says  her £200,000 Postcode Lottery win was predicted  in a coffee cup reading.

They’ve been playing for a decade and plans for  their winnings include a possible return to Australia where he has two sisters who live there. “That’s if they want to see me!” he joked.

The world is our oyster now

When receiving their cheque, his wife broke down in tears. Talking about a foreign holiday, she revealed they’d have to get some new passports first. Their last ones had run out during the pandemic and not been renewed. “The world is our oyster now,” said the Postcode Lottery winner.
