A couple celebrating their ruby wedding anniversary and their bridesmaid who was there on the big day are among four neighbours from Thornbury to scoop £140,000 between them. The four won the money on the People’s Postcode Lottery.
On Sunday they were given cheques for £30,000 and a £5,000 holiday prize after their BS35 2DY postcode was announced as a winner. School caretaker Stephen Monks, 61, and his wife Debra are now planning a special holiday for their 40th wedding anniversary.
And they are delighted that their bridesmaid Samantha Walker also won the same amount and can share in the luck. Stephen said: “It’s brilliant, absolutely brilliant! As it’s going to be our ruby wedding anniversary, we’ll go away somewhere nice and sunny, near the beach to celebrate.” Debra is also hoping to go to New York just before Christmas.
