"It means I can get it all done, I can have a new sofa. I can treat my three kids, I can treat my grandkids and my foster kids.

"It’s amazing.”

“New carpets, even my garden.

"I might get myself a little summerhouse.

"I always thought they were way too expensive, I could never have one.

"I just used to imagine that one was there.

"I might have one now!”

Rose shared that she intended to celebrate with a bottle of prosecco, while the other Brimington winner chose to remain anonymous but will have their winnings paid directly into their bank account.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Matt Johnson said: “A big congratulations to those who have picked up a prize today in Brimington.

Everyday throughout July one postcode will be announced as a £30,000 prize winner with all the players in the postcode receiving £30,000 for every ticket they hold.

The lottery costs £10 a month and people play with their chosen postcode and are then automatically entered into all draws.

A minimum of 33% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery which has raised over £750 million for different causes.
