Two lucky Lancashire neighbours are celebrating today after winning £30,000 each with People’s Postcode Lottery. One of the lucky winners, Julie Henderson (51), from Lytham-St-Annes intends to take a staycation with her husband who returns from Afghanistan next month. She also plans to fulfil her dream of starting her own business. FY8 2QN was announced as a winner with the lottery on Thursday 29th April landing two lucky players with a cheque for £30,000 each. The winners found out how much they’d won on video calls with lottery ambassador Judie McCourt. Julie was not expecting the winning prize sum. On seeing her cheque, she gasped and said: “Oh gosh! 30,000, wow! I can’t believe it! It’s just come at the perfect time. I feel like I’m dreaming.”
