A man from near Bristol, England, won £125,000 ($166,559) earlier this month after forgetting to cancel his People's Postcode Lottery ticket.

James Adams, 31, said his fiancée asked him to stop the payments because they were saving for their wedding, but he never got around to it. That forgotten direct debit paid off when his postcode was one of eight that shared a £1 million prize in last month's draw, according to the People's Postcode Lottery.
