PRESS RELEASE
WINNERS ARE WALKING ON AYR
Three players win big with People’s Postcode Lottery
Three players in Ayr are over the moon this week after their postcode, KA7 2ND, was drawn as a
winner. The winners were thrilled to be surprised by rugby legend and People’s Postcode Lottery
presenter, Scott Quinnell.
Janet Paul was shocked to be presented with her £25,000 cheque. “I’m over the moon,” she said. “I
never win anything.”
Janet, 55, who has been playing People’s Postcode Lottery for a number of years, decided to sign up
to support animal charities. “I’m a huge dog lover and I knew that by playing, I could support
charities such as Dogs Trust,” she said. “It’s a bonus I’ve won as well.”
Mother-of-one Janet has some canine-related ideas of how to spend her money. “I’ve always
wanted a car with a bigger boot that will easily accommodate my two dogs,” she said. “I’ve got an
old, leaky car at the moment so I would love to get something like a Citroen Berlingo.”
Janet, who works at her local primary school, also has a holiday on her mind. “We have been saving
to go on a big family holiday to Florida but weren’t sure if we’d be able to afford it – now we
definitely can,” she said. “There will be a big group of us going - me, my husband Alan, son Daniel,
15, and my brother Richard and friends. Richard lives at the same postcode and will be kicking
himself that he doesn’t play. We haven’t been on holiday in three years so I’m very excited.”
There were two other winners in the postcode who were not available. Their money will be
distributed directly into their account.
As a charity lottery, players have raised over £66.4 million for charities and good causes across Great
Britain and internationally. One charity local to the winners is South Ayrshire Women’s Aid that was
awarded £10,000 from players for their Children & Young People’s Outdoor Play Area. Children and
young people living with the trauma of domestic abuse experience a range of emotional, physical
and development difficulties. The play area gives children the opportunity to engage in physical
activities and mix with others who have experienced similar situations.
People’s Postcode Lottery Street Prize presenter Scott Quinnell said, “It was great being in Ayr today
to meet Janet. It was clear to see that she is crazy about her dogs so I hope she gets the car she
wants to accommodate them as well as a nice holiday for her family. One of the best things about
winning with People’s Postcode Lottery is that you can win with your neighbours. Everyone today
was so happy and all have great plans for their winnings. I hope they have fun spending the cash.”
