WATCH: Colchester neighbours win £210k on People's Postcode Lottery

CO4 0NY in St John’s has been announced as the latest winner of the People’s Postcode Lottery today.

Five neighbours won £30,000 each, with one lucky player taking home £60,000 after playing with two tickets.

Here is a video of the big reveal:

Richard Holland, 52, was lost for words after ambassador Jeff Brazier revealed he was the £60,000 winner on a video call.

He was joined on the call by wife Tracy, who is an A&E receptionist.

The father of two said: “I think we’re both completely overwhelmed by this.

“Things like this just don’t happen to us and after the year we’ve had this is really a great start to 2021.”

Underwriter Caroline Barnes, 36, said her and partner Matt would be heading off on the holiday of a lifetime to Mauritius with her £30,000 - once coronavirus restrictions are lifted of course.

She said: “A holiday is definitely top of my list but I’d also like to treat myself to a designer handbag as well.”

Doreen Blair, 76, and husband Nigel, 65, said the £30,000 would change their lives and were delighted some of their neighbours could share in their win.

Nigel said: “We have a lovely little community so it’s just great to hear that some of our neighbours have won too.”

Colin Freeman, 78, plans to use some of his winnings to help his only granddaughter Sophie-Kate travel to New Zealand on her gap year.

He also plans to take a trip to Wimbourne with wife Jan, 78, and invest in some high-tech kitchen gadgets.

“This year has definitely started better than we thought it would,” he said.

The two other winners decided to stay anonymous.

Ambassador Jeff Brazier said: “It was great meeting them all virtually and I hope they enjoy spending their winnings.

“It sounds like there will be a few corks being popped around Colchester this evening.”

People’s Postcode Lottery costs £10 a month to play and there are guaranteed winners every day.
