Seven neighbours in South Lanarkshire have been given cause to celebrate this weekend after winning £270,000 in the People’s Postcode Lottery.
The St Blane’s Drive residents in Rutherglen will share the cash windfall after G73 2BD was announced as a winner today, with two households claiming £60,000 each.
Five others have been handed cheques for £30,000 each, including social worker Liz Keenan.
She was with her husband, John, when she discovered the win during a video call with the Postcode Lottery’s ambassador Danyl Johnson.
The 53-year-old said the pair will use their winnings to “eventually move to Spain” after also investing in a new bathroom for their current home.
The draw was promoted on behalf of Unicef, with players raising more than £8.1 million for the charity and more than £600m to date for other projects.
Ms Keenan added: “There’s a couple of charities that we’re thinking of sharing a wee bit with as well. I actually work in childcare so knowing it’s going back to the charities is good, £600m is really keeping these places going.”
Mr Johnson said: “Congratulations to Liz and all our other winners in Rutherglen.”
