A LEAMINGTON resident had the “surprise of his life” when he found out he had scooped a share of a mammoth £150,000 on the People’s Postcode Lottery at the weekend.
Christopher Vincett was one of five residents from the town who scooped a slice of the prize winnings thanks to their postcode – CV32 6BN – being picked in the draw on July 17.
Each of the five will receive a cheque for £30,000.
Mr Vincett described winning the cheque as “the surprise of his life”.
He continued: “It is amazing. I can’t wait to tell the family. We’ll have some fun with them and make some plans”.
The 66-year-old was joined by his wife Sarah when he received the news. She added: “It’s very exciting. I think I’ll have a cup of coffee, but perhaps we can have some bubbles later. Our three grandchildren all have birthdays coming up so we’ll be able to get them all a nice gift.
“Hopefully we can go on a safari too”.
The other winners wished to remain anonymous but their prizes will be paid into their bank accounts.
People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt said:
“Congratulations to our lucky Leamington winners. I’m sure they’ll have lots of fun treating themselves with the money and celebrating”.
