PRESS RELEASE
SPENDING SPREE FOR CHULMLEIGH
Five Players win £25,000 each with People’s Postcode Lottery
Many players in Chulmleigh will be celebrating this week after winning £25,000 each when
postcode, EX18 7BP, was drawn as a winner in this week’s Saturday Street Prize.
Maurice Dayman, Brenda Budden, Julie Baron, Thomas Stevens and Michael Cooper-Yeoman were
all delighted with their win.
Brenda Budden, 65, was very surprised to receive a visit from People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador
and rugby legend, Scott Quinnell. “I just looked at Scott completely dumbfounded,” she said. “I’m
stunned but it’s a very nice feeling.”
Although shocked, Brenda does have some initial plans for her winnings. “It’s my husband Ron’s 70th
birthday next year,” she said. “I’d like to use the money to have a big celebration. We have recently
bought a caravan so I’d love to travel around France together as well as treating my sons and
grandchildren.”
Brenda’s neighbour Julie Baron, 60, was just as surprised to receive her cheque for £25,000. “I am
over the moon,” she said. “I have been shaking all morning and I still can’t stop”
Julie, a retired private coach driver, was delighted not to be the only winner. “It’s so nice that four of
my neighbours won with me and we all know each other,” she said.
Grandmother Julie is planning to visit her family in Buckinghamshire for Christmas as well as giving
some money to her son and grandchildren.
Maurice Dayman, 68, was joined by his wife Sue who was excited to meet Scott Quinnell. “My wife
had seen Scott on TV and he gave her a big hug,” he said. “We’re over the moon, what a big surprise
for Christmas.”
Neighbour Michael Cooper-Yeoman joined the other winners and was thrilled to have won after only
one month of playing. “It’s amazing,” he said. “Everyone should play as it’s simple, easy and very
well run.”
And final winner, Thomas Stevens, 29, was just as thrilled as his fellow winners and couldn’t resist
taking a selfie with presenter, Scott. “This is the most I’ve ever won,” he said. “It’s great that we can
all share the excitement together.”
As a charity lottery, players have raised over £56.1 million for charities and good causes across Great
Britain and internationally. One local cause to be awarded £3,690 from players of People’s Postcode
Lottery is the 1st Holsworthy Scout Group for new troop tents. The Scout Group is in a rurally
deprived part of North West Devon who provide activities and work towards the mental, spiritual
and physical development of young people.
People’s Postcode Lottery Street Prize presenter Scott Quinnell said, “It was fantastic to meet so
many winners and present them all with nice big cheques before Christmas. People’s Postcode
Lottery is all about winning with your neighbours so to have five winners today is brilliant. I hope
they all have a great time spending their winnings.”
