Postcode Lottery wins for 10 neighbours in two Scots towns as they scoop £360,000

Ten neighbours in two towns have scooped £360,000 on the People’s Postcode Lottery.

Three winners from PA14 6AZ in Port Glasgow pocketed £30,000 each on Friday while Greenock postcode PA16 0QX cashed in on Thursday.

Five of the Greenock neighbours won £30,000 each, with two others awarded £60,000, each playing with two tickets.

Gary Summers, 33, was one of the lucky winners after receiving a knock on the door from lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson.

He said: “It was the most amazing moment of my life, winning £60,000 on the People’s Postcode Lottery.

“It’s life-changing. Words can’t describe how amazing it actually is. I think I’m still in shock.”

The NHS worker added: “I think Christmas will definitely be good for my little girl.

"She’ll be getting spoiled and we’ll also definitely get a couple of wee things done around the house.

"Maybe a new kitchen or something, a new bathroom and a couple of breaks away.”

Joan Black, 68, also took home £30,000.

This is the second time Joan has struck lucky with the lottery after winning £11,962 back in 2011, when her postcode sector shared £2million.

Joan and her husband are retired, so she said the money will go a long way towards helping her family.

She added: “I’m going to help my daughter, my son who stays with us and my son in Germany.”

Jim Dorrian, 63, was another lucky winner on the Greenock street, netting £30,000, which he intends to spend treating his wife to a bike and a holiday.

He said: “I want to treat my family and give my kids and my grandkids something.

"It means myself and my wife will be comfortable for a couple of years to come.”

Ryan Foreman, 38, was one of three lucky neighbours in Port Glasgow to win £30,000.

He was with his wife Arlene when he found out.

Ryan said: “It’ll give us a wee bit extra comfort rather than saving and putting money away for things.”

Arlene added: “We can get a new bathroom and go on holiday with the children.”

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson said: “Congratulations to them all.”
