Five neighbours are celebrating today after sharing £180,000 thanks to their postcode. The windfall comes after their street was announced as a winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Thursday 21st January. The Chorley neighbours won £30,000 each. However, one player, Neil Jones (36), took home £60,000 thanks to playing with two tickets. Neil learned of his win on a video call with People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Matt Johnson. Neil gasped as his prize cheque was revealed: “Oh my God!” He was joined on the call with his partner Keith Riley, who laughed as the news sunk in.
