Delighted Scots neighbours scoop £180k in Postcode Lottery

Four Scots neighbours have scooped a combined £180,000 after winning the People's Postcode Lottery.

The lucky residents in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, were surprised by presenter Jeff Brazier who knocked on their door to deliver the exciting news.

Three of the winners in the AB23 8FQ postcode scooped a massive £30,000, with the fourth neighbour Craig Stephen winning a triple rollover of £90,000 after buying three tickets.

An ecstatic Craig plans to send the cash on a nice holiday and collecting a special edition of whisky, Aberdeen Live reports.

He said: "It's a big surprise. I think I'll probably go on holiday somewhere, maybe down to Legoland, or it might even be Florida now it's £90,000.

"I want to do up the house too. I think I'll head to the pub to celebrate. I collect a few bottles of whisky so I might get a special bottle of whisky, too."

The People's Postcode Lottery has resulted in more than £1billion raised for good causes across the world with Aberdeen Action on Disability receiving £10,000 to assist its support to people living with disabilities.

Jeff said: "It was a pleasure to surprise Craig with a cheque for £90,000. I'm sure he and his neighbours will have an absolutely fantastic time spending their prizes.

"Local charities have something to celebrate, too, thanks to People's Postcode Lottery players. They have raised more than £1.1billion for charities and thousands of local good causes. Neighbours win and charities win. It's the ultimate win-win situation!"
