Perseverance Pays Off for £100,000 Postcode Lottery Winner

Just because a win doesn’t come along, don’t give up playing. Mandy from Boughton in Nottinghamshire, England, won a £100,000 Postcode Lottery prize this month but had considered cancelling her ticket.

It’s likely that Mandy would have cancelled her Postcode Lottery ticket but for her partner Gav. He persuaded her to carry on playing, though she had to check the ticket hadn’t been cancelled when finding out about her win.

Now the big win has come along, the couple plan on going to Turkey. It’s not just for a holiday, there’s something important Gav wants to buy, namely some new teeth. Also planned is buying their son his first car and a caravan for themselves.

The win will also help Gav with his career. He can buy some tools and that’ll help him become a mobile mechanic. His days working for minimum wage appear to be over.

Completely over the top

Even happier is Kelly who had two Postcode Lottery tickets and has won £200,000. Winning such a large amount was a huge but welcome shock for her. “£1,000 would have been a lot of money to us right now, but £200,000 is just completely over the top,” said the mother-of-three.

Her husband Barry was in his car when hearing the news of their win. He was so surprised and emotional that he had to pull over to regain his composure. Their Postcode Lottery will be used to “treat the children and to live comfortably for a while.”

Off to Skegness

Living next door to Kelly who has won £100,000. Her husband of 52 years Jim thought they’d only won a £1,500 Postcode Lottery prize. With it being much larger he joked: “We don’t need to put money aside for our trips to Skegness anymore.”

Treats for the grandchildren

Also celebrating a £100,000 Postcode Lottery win is Jackie. Her win came a week after celebrating her 60th birthday. A shopping spree with her granddaughter is planned and her grandchildren might be given some Motocross dirt bikes.
