A pregnant nurse and a woman who spent months fighting for her life in hospital are amongst the more than 400 people in a Wigan neighbourhood who are celebrating this Bank Holiday weekend after winning a combined £7.9 million.
The neighbours from Lowton won the People’s Postcode Lottery windfall after their WA3 1 postcode was selected as the winning address. Lucky players in the Wigan village scooped between £14,815 to £59,260 depending on the number of tickets they purchased.
The cash prizes were revealed at a special event at Parsonage Retail Park on Saturday (April 30). Laura and Stephen Kings, 65, said they were both left shocked after they each pocketed £14,815 - just a few days after Laura found out she was pregnant with twins.
