A heartbroken son has won hundreds of thousands on the postcode lottery after his mother encouraged him to sign up before she died.
Irene won £2,217 with the People’s Postcode Lottery five years ago but sadly passed away at 80 and missed witnessing the family's huge recent win of £ £181,818 reports the MEN.
The 44-year-old knew his mum would be chuffed for him and said: “My mum won a few years ago and we joined up because of that,'
“Mum encouraged us to sign up. She was really happy with her win. She treated herself to things she wanted for the house, like new carpets.
“I went with her to the event and there was quite a lot of excitement. She was more excited to see the celebrities than her prize. She would be ecstatic for us and saying, ‘What are you going to buy me?’”
Paul and his loved ones shared the £1m jackpot with seven neighbours after SK14 4PU was revealed as a winner of Postcode Lottery’s weekly Millionaire Street prize back in September.
Each ticket picked up £90,909, but the family and another neighbour doubled their windfall with two tickets.
Now the couple plan to buy a new house so they can stop renting the terrace they share with their children aged 13, 14, 15 and 18.
Joanne said: “This is absolutely amazing. I can’t put it into words. We’re going to buy a house. It’s something that we have been wanting to do for a while. The one we’re in at the moment is rented. It means we can now start looking."
