Two neighbors in Farnham just had the kind of weekend most of us only dream about — they each landed £250,000 in a huge lottery win.
The lucky pair, who’ve chosen to stay anonymous, scored big through the monthly prize draw from the People’s Postcode Lottery. And here’s the wild part — they were the only winners when the cash dropped into postcode GU9 8BU on Saturday, February 28.
Talk about perfect timing to wrap up the month.
The surprise was delivered in style by lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson, who showed up holding two shiny gold envelopes. He shared his excitement, saying he was thrilled for the winners and joked that since Farnham is just an hour by train from London, it’s a pretty “capital” way to close out February and kick off the rest of the year.
How the People’s Postcode Lottery Works
If you’re not familiar, here’s the quick breakdown:
-
It’s a subscription lottery that helps raise money for charities
-
It costs £12.50 per month to play
-
You enter using your chosen postcode
-
And here’s the fun twist — if your postcode wins, every ticket in that postcode wins
In this case, the Surrey neighbors were the only ticket holders in their winning postcode — meaning the entire prize pot went straight to them.
Not a bad way to head into spring.
