I knew I had won massive lottery prize after hearing a song through my neighbour’s wall
A WOMAN knew she had won a massive lottery prize after hearing a song through her neighbour’s wall.
Mandy Mulvey, 37, scooped £90,909 in the People’s Postcode Lottery today.
She shared a £1million jackpot with nine of her neighbours in Harlow, Essex.
Everyone in the winning postcode gets a share of the whopping cash prize.
When Mandy heard her overjoyed neighbours Jeff and Marion Lilley singing the Postcode Lottery theme tune, she realised she was in luck too.
The special needs teaching assistant had not even told her husband Luke that she had bought a ticket.
Mandy said: “Luke’s mum played the lottery and someone from her street won it.
“I just thought to myself ‘I might start doing that’. I signed up a couple of years ago, but Luke didn’t even know I played.
“The first he knew was when I told him last Friday when I found out I’d won.”
Luke, 37, added: “We could hear the neighbours singing through the walls.”
The couple plans to splash the cash on a dream holiday to visit Mandy’s sister in Australia.
She said: “I’m literally shaking. I don’t know what to say. This is amazing.
“Days before Christmas. It’s incredible. I honestly thought it would be £2,000 or £3,000 maybe.
“This makes such a huge difference. We’ll finish doing up the garden and visit my sister in Australia.”
Luke said: “We’ll take the three kids. We’ve never been as a family.”
A couple down the street from Mandy and Luke won £180,000 – but people think the first thing they want to buy is boring.
