A Nottinghamshire pensioner won big on People’s Postcode Lottery just one month after signing up – after his granddaughter egged him on. Geoffrey Hoe, 75, was urged by teacher Holly Chapman, 33, to join after she won a few £10 prizes – but kept forgetting until she reminded him again.
Every ticket was worth £111,111. This is the second £1 million prize for the Nottinghamshire area after 11 neighbours in Newthorpe – just 29 miles away - won Millionaire Street the week before. In that prize every ticket was worth £83,333, but one player banked £166,666 with two tickets. “Linda played and asked if I was playing. I used to play and stopped, so I said ‘ok then, I’ll start playing again’. I’m so grateful, and I’ll enjoy spending it.”
Linda and Bill say they’ll put the money in the bank until they ‘calm down’ – but might visit their two sons and grandchildren in Miami, Florida. Linda, whose daughter sadly passed away three years ago, said: “This is going in the bank for starters and I need to calm down. I feel as high as a kite.
