Wishaw neighbours scoop £7.9m postcode lottery win - the biggest ever in Scotland

How would you feel waking up on morning feeling £1000 just because of where you live?

That's exactly how a certain number of residents in Wishaw are feeling this week after winning a massive £7.9million in the People’s Postcode Lottery.

The cash windfall is the biggest single prize pot to be awarded in Scotland in the lottery’s history.

Winners in the area have already been told they have each scooped a minimum of £1,000, but the full winning totals won’t be revealed until this weekend on Saturday February 26.

The prize pot will be divided between players of the lottery in the winning sector ML2 0. However, when the full winning postcode is revealed on Saturday, players on one street will receive the biggest prizes and can expect to net a six-figure sum.

Winners in the area have been invited to an exclusive event where they’ll receive their golden envelopes and learn how much they have each won.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt said: “I am so excited for our Wishaw winners and can’t wait to bring them this fantastic news. I’m sure they’ll all be excited for Saturday, and I think this surprise will make their weekend.”
