IMMEDIATE RELEASE
£25,000 PRIZE FOR MILLFORD-ON-SEA WINNER!
One lucky player of People’s Postcode Lottery from Millford-on-Sea was delivered a cheque for
£25,000 after only playing for two months.
SO41 0SF was drawn as a winner in People’s Postcode Lottery’s Saturday Street Prize on 6 February
2016 and each winning ticket is worth £25,000.
The Knowland Drive winner only began playing People’s Postcode Lottery after being inspired by the
amount awarded to charity.
Retired Christine Boyce, 71, said:
“I only started playing in December, when I saw it advertised it mentioned a large amount goes to
charity.”
Christine was in shock after winning the £25,000 Saturday Street Prize but already has plans for
some of her bumper winnings.
Christine said: “I keep looking at this card that says you’ve won People’s Postcode Lottery and I can’t
believe it. We haven’t been on holiday in a very long time so we are going to visit a friend in Greece
and then maybe go to see my son in Australia.”
“It was so funny when People’s Postcode Lottery arrived this morning. The lady next door is getting
some work done – and the workman saw me waiving my £25,000 cheque – they asked me how I did
it so I told them to go and play People’s Postcode Lottery!”
People's Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson, who presented the cheque to Christine on
her doorstep in Millport-on-Sea, said:
"It was brilliant to bring a smile to Christine’s face. She was so surprised and to imagine that she only
started playing in December is simply incredible. It is always such an honour to meet the winning
players who are helping to raise millions of pounds for so many great causes.”
