Neighbours scoop £30k each

Worcester Editorial 21st Jan, 2021   0

NEIGHBOURS on a Dormston street are celebrating after scooping a staggering £30,000 each thanks to playing People’s Postcode Lottery.

The trio scooped the prize when their postcode, WR7 4LG, was announced as a winner last week.

Steve Davies, who celebrated his 61st birthday earlier this month was among the winners. He discovered how much he’d won during a video call with lottery ambassador Matt Johnson.

Seeing his prize, Steve said: “Fantastic, thank you very much! That’s a very nice way to start the new year and a great birthday present.




“This is the first big cheque I’ve ever won so it’s quite a nice feeling, I must say.”

Steve, who works in cyber security, already has a few ideas on how he’ll spend the windfall. He said: “It’s my wife Victoria’s 40th birthday next year and she’s always wanted to see the Northern Lights, so I think we’ll put some of it towards that trip.


“I’ve got some champagne in the fridge so I think we’ll be opening that up tonight!”

Hearing his neighbours had also won, Steve added: “I think the fact I’ve heard two of my neighbours have won too has made me even happier.”

Sharon Birtles, who retired in October last year after 30 years at BritVic, was another winner.

When her cheque was revealed she said: “Oh wow! You’ve really cheered up my day now – that’s just what the doctor ordered!

“I’ve been to America a few times and would quite like to go back to Disney in Florida and Arizona – I absolutely love Arizona.
