We live in UK’s LUCKIEST town where hundreds of neighbours scooped share of £10.2m lottery jackpot in ‘biggest ever’ win
HUNDREDS of neighbours living in UK’s luckiest town have scooped a share of £10.2million lottery jackpot in the “biggest ever” win.
The town of Perthshire in Scotland has been hit by luck as locals rake in their share of a huge Postcode Lottery win.
In a special event in Perth’s South Inch Park over 500 punters living in six Scottish villages across the wider PH2 9 gathered to receive the colossal cash prizes.
The postcode area is home to Aberargie, Abernethy, Bridge of Earn, Forgandenny, Forteviot, and Glenfarg.
Neighbourhoods are now buzzing with excitement as neighbours have scooped a slice of the £10.2million jackpot.
Each player has forked out a minimum of £5,000 with some punters bagging over £1.02million.
And some residents grabbed tickets worth £340,000 with many pocketing as many as three at a time.
Danyl Johnson, ambassador of the Postcode Lottery, said the life-changing windfall was Scotland’s record-breaking win.
At the time he said: “We’ll be in the heart of Scotland this weekend for a heart-warming celebration with all of our players.
“It’s even more special this time because this is Scotland’s biggest-ever Postcode Lottery prize.
“Players will be picking up their prizes, but they also know it’s a win-win situation because local, national and international charities benefit from their contributions.”
Neighbours screamed with joy as he handed out the life-changing cheques.
Fellow winner, Stewart, was part of 10 neighbours to land the huge windfall in Perthshire in Scotland.
He believes the whopping £680,000 Postcode Lottery win could be a heavenly nod from his late ex-partner Robert.
