Players Get Rich In Norwich

Four Norwich residents are celebrating thanks to their lucky postcode!

The Creance Road neighbours, who play with postcode NR7 8JW, won the second Street Prize of the weekend and scooped £30,000 per ticket.

Roger Barron, who plays with two tickets, couldn't believe it when the team at People's Postcode Lottery showed up to present him with his cheque for £60,000. "I was very surprised," he said. "I haven't been able to stop thinking about it."

Roger, a retired heating engineer, has three children and five grandchildren to spoil with his winnings and is thinking of treating himself to a holiday.

"I usually go on holiday with my friend," he said. "We both lost our wives at similar times and enjoy each other's company. We're off to Turkey this year, but winning the money means I can plan something extra special for next year."

Peter Longman was equally shocked when he realised he had won £60,000 by playing with two tickets. "I'm delighted," he said. "And my daughter was over the moon to meet Jeff Brazier!"

Peter, who works as a lorry driver, is looking forward to planning a trip with his two daughters and wife with his winnings.

Anne-Marie Pound was delighted with her £30,000 win. "This has come at such a perfect time," she said. "My daughter Charlotte has just been accepted into Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, and I was worried about affording the fees – I don't have to panic now."

"It really is life-changing for me. It'd been a pipe dream for a while to visit Australia to visit my uncles and cousins who I haven't seen for over 20 years," she said. "Now I'm planning the trip for Christmas with my son and daughter."

Finally, Margaret Shergold was thrilled with her £30,000 cheque. "We have our golden wedding next year, so we'll plan a big holiday," she said. "It's great that so much money goes to good causes from playing."

Street Prize Presenter Jeff Brazier said, "We had a really fun day meeting Peter, Roger, Anne-Marie, and Margaret and surprising them with their winnings. For a chance to have me knocking at your door, sign up today!"

Players of People's Postcode Lottery have raised more than £182 Million to date for good causes across Great Britain and internationally.

A project near the winners that has received support from players is The Bramerton Society, which was awarded £1,169 last year for the Bramerton Community Orchard.

There were also celebrations this weekend when players in BS24 7DW scooped £30,000 per ticket and the March Postcode Millions landed in Brechin.
