I missed out on £83K People’s Postcode Lottery win as whole street celebrated… don’t make the same mistake
A HOMEOWNER missed out on a £83,000 People’s Postcode Lottery jackpot while their whole street celebrated.
The unlucky local is urging people not to make the same mistake as they did.
Their street in the “forgotten” village of Nantymoel in the south Wales valleys scooped £1million in the Postcode Lottery.
The jackpot was split between 11 winners along the street – each of whom took away £83,333.
But one villager was left empty-handed after failing to sign up for a Postcode Lottery subscription.
The local said: “It’s fabulous that people in our little town have won – I might not have won but we’ll be celebrating with them.”
Postcode Lottery players sign up their street and pay £12 per month.
Subscribers are then automatically entered into each draw and then prizes are announced each day of the month.
But people on a winning street will only get a cash prize if they have an individual subscription.
Winner Rebecca Banks said: “The buzz on the street and around the whole place is just unreal.
“We are the forgotten valley as we don’t have many amenities for anyone.
“We’ve got a couple of small shops, the pub has only been open a couple of months.”
She added: “There’s no supermarkets and the nearest is a 20-minute drive away.
“We don’t have any petrol stations, nothing at all. So, for this to happen is just incredible.”
Rebecca, who works for a credit union, said: “We can just enjoy life and have fun.
“We’re going to Thailand next April, so we might make a few upgrades.
“And it’s my 40th birthday in December, so now we could go on a nice weekend away.”
WIN THE VALLEYS
Alan and Muriel Owen also won a life-changing sum in the Postcode Lottery draw.
Muriel said: “I couldn’t believe it, I thought it was a scam at first, and then I said to Alan somebody was playing a sick joke on us.”
Fortunately, the phone call confirmed their win was real, and now the couple look forward to splashing their newfound wealth.
Alan and Muriel wasted no time and had already booked a trip to Turkey to celebrate.
The lucky pair added that it was “amazing” to share the win with the other residents, describing them as “lovely valleys people”.
Most of the winners in Nantymeol came together to celebrate at the local village pub.
Owner Helen Smith said: “It’s fantastic news – it was a lovely atmosphere here.
“We put on free prosecco for everybody to help them celebrate. It’s nice to see lovely people winning money.”
