A group of neighbours in Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire have collectively won almost £77,000 each on the People's Postcode Lottery after their postcode NG12 3NT was drawn as the weekly 'millionaire street' prize. The lucky winners, including a retired baker and a couple who recently celebrated a cancer remission, are planning to use their winnings for home improvements, holidays, and other special treats.
A Cotgrave father and daughter have won almost £77,000 each on the People's Postcode Lottery just days after the latter retired from his job as a Morrisons baker. Samantha Newham encouraged her father Peter Newham to sign up to the postcode lottery just four months ago and the pair have now bagged a "phenomenal" amount of cash.
"We're looking to buy a house and stay local. He's going to be over the moon, absolutely over the moon. This is incredible for us." He said: "In the garage I've got a 2007 S-Type Jaguar in need of TLC and repair. I said if I won anything I'd do it up. The Jag's called Tamara, just a name I picked that sounds right.
