UK lottery players won 'twice in three weeks' with help of legal trick anyone can do

UK lottery enthusiasts astonishingly won twice in three weeks due to a "trick" that anyone across the nation can utilise.

Neil and Hayley, who are from Darwen, Lancashire, pocketed £30,000 after joining the People's Postcode Lottery last year. Neil revealed: "We just bought the house three months ago. I got a £10 prize the first month and now £30,000."

The couple's postcode was drawn again just three weeks later, earning them another cash prize, albeit a slightly smaller one. It comes after news that Nationwide will pay bonus £760 into accounts of customers who do one thing.

The two victories for Neil and Hayley, which occurred within three weeks last summer, have prompted warnings for households to sign up to the People's Postcode Lottery as it could potentially yield significant rewards during the ongoing Cost of Living crisis, reports Birmingham Live.

Nick, speaking at the time of their win, said: "We started playing as soon as we moved in." Their neighbour Emma also shared her excitement with the media and said: "It's amazing to win with our neighbours. We've all been talking to each other, and it's really brought the street together."

Neighbour Ross also celebrated the win and shared his plans for his winnings. He said: "I've not been away this year. I might organise a lads' weekend in Majorca. They've treated me enough in the past, so it's probably my turn to treat them."

Another neighbour, Mark, added: "I like gaming tattoos. I might get Sonic this time. My little boy loves that. Off the top of my head, I might also get the lottery logo in there. I'll tell the tattooist what I want and he'll do a good job."

Sheila Middlehurst discovered her win while she and her husband Steve, 71, were fuelling their car during a caravan holiday in Wales. The 70 year old recalled: "We own a static caravan in Ruthin, Wales, and we were getting petrol when my phone rang when I went to pay."
