£30,000 People’s Postcode Lottery Win Nearly Didn’t Happen

Five tickets in Clayton-le-Woods, which is part of Chorley in Lancashire, England have each won a £30,000 People’s Postcode Lottery prize. Their success came in the Street Prize draw held on January 9.

One of the winners is Jan, who was born in Clayton-le-Woods but then left and only returned to the area six months ago. Little did she guess her postcode of PR6 7RE would win her £30,000. The lucky People’s Postcode Lottery player now plans to help her son buy his first house.

Best selfie ever

Her son still lives in Hertfordshire but wants to move to a house that’s ten minutes away from his mother. He was the first person to be told about her win. “I sent him a selfie with the cheque,” said Jan.

It’s a win that nearly didn’t happen though. Jan and her husband were due to move to another house in the area, but the deal fell through. The People’s Postcode Lottery win will also help Jan, who works in event management and as a life coach, to set up her own business.

Lottery winners often have a celebratory meal. This lucky player said she’d be going out for breakfast with her mother and sister. Jan had already been told that she’d be footing the bill.

A holiday at last

Another lucky People’s Postcode Lottery winner was Michelle and her partner Mark. Some of the winnings will go to their pension fund. A trip abroad is also planned. “Somewhere like Italy, Greece or Spain. Have some sunshine,” she laughed.  The couple have been longing to go away as their last holiday was in 2019.

Mark wants some new golf clubs and Michelle also fancies a spa treatment. The couple also intend to treat their son so all the family will have reasons to celebrate.

The winners received their prizes from Judie McCourt. It was a duty that she thoroughly enjoyed. “I'm so pleased for our winners in Clayton-le-Woods, what a great way to start the year for them.”
