A lucky Scots community are celebrating after winning a combined jackpot of £3.2 million on the People's Postcode Lottery. More than 100 neighbours in Seaton, Aberdeen, shared the combined prize pot.
Two elderly neighbours were the biggest winners as they had the full winning postcode of AB24 1, netting them £733,648 and £366,824 respectively. One of those to land a six-figure prize was Alexander Hardingham, 83, says he was left stunned by the news and says it feels like he is in a 'fairy tale.'
He said: “I can’t believe it, I thought I was just getting £5,000, as £5,000 would still be a lot to me, but this feels like a fairy tale, just like the movies. Believe you me. This has been a day and a half to me that I still can’t believe.”
