Kingswood Neighbours Split £1 Million Postcode Lottery Prize After Forgotten Subscription Pays Off

October's remaining announcements will allocate £1 million to charities across the five winning areas.

Overview

  • Eight residents in Kingswood near Bristol each received £125,000 after their postcode won the People's Postcode Lottery's weekly Millionaire Street Prize.
  • Winner James Adams, 31, said he forgot to cancel his direct debit despite his fiancée's requests, leaving his entry active.
  • The couple plan home improvements, wedding savings, and a honeymoon trip to New Zealand using part of the payout.
  • Fellow winner Gemma Marson-May joined after a strong hunch and plans a new home and a holiday, while Steve Hooper said the windfall lifted his spirits during ongoing health checks.
  • Four additional winning postcodes will be revealed later in October as part of the same draw schedule.
