Triumph For Tivetshall St Mary

One lucky Tivetshall St Mary resident is celebrating this week after winning £50,000 and a brand new BMW in People's Postcode Lottery's monthly BMW and Cash Prize draw.

Coral Long plays with the postcode NR15 2BX, which was drawn as a winner today. Thanks to playing with two tickets, she doubled her cash prize to £50,000.

Coral got quite a shock when she pulled out a £50,000 cheque from her gold envelope. "My heart nearly stopped! I couldn't believe it. It's incredible."

She continued, "We have horses and have some bits of equipment we've wanted to buy for a while so I'll be able to get those straight away, and after that I'm sure we'll take ourselves on a nice holiday and treat our family and friends with the money too."

People's Postcode Lottery Ambassador Jeff Brazier said, "What a great day! Coral was a fantastic winner, and of course her husband Dave too – I hope they enjoy their winnings and their beautiful new car."

A minimum of 30% of the ticket price goes directly to charities, and to date, players have raised more than £190 Million for good causes across Great Britain and internationally.

A project that has received player support near the winning postcode is Hope into Action, which was awarded £5,119 last year to set up a a new house for homeless people.
