Making plans
)
Jade Williams and wife Ruth work opposite shifts at the local hospital as they juggle raising their two daughters.
But the stunned pair, of Altofts, West Yorkshire, managed to get time off together for the prize reveal and whooped with joy when their £125,000 windfall was unveiled.
Jade said: "Things like this don't happen to me. I can't even win an argument!"
Jade shared £1 Million with seven neighbours in the cul-de-sac in Altofts after WF6 2ST landed today's Millionaire Street prize. Every ticket was worth £125,000.
Jade was doing the ironing when she got a call to say she'd won after playing for less than a year. Now she and Ruth are making plans for their family.
She added: "We’ll spend money on a holiday, we need a new kitchen, and we’ll treat our two little girls. Christmas will be amazing for them.
"I think the girls would love to go to Disney in Florida. Our eldest girl loves the rides. I've never been myself, so I'm looking forward to that."
Pauline's goal
)
Up the road, Pauline Place knows the first thing she'll spend her £125,000 on - a season ticket for Leeds United.
She has been a fan of the Elland Road side since 1964 - but gave up her season ticket 12 years ago.
Pauline said: "Getting a Leeds United season ticket for me and my daughter would mean everything to me... It would be brilliant to get one again."
Now she wants to go back on the waiting list in the hope of signing up again with her physiotherapist daughter Joanne Mercer.
She added: "We'll definitely all go out for a meal and might have a holiday as well... I'll take all the family…if they'll come with me!"
Tracing dad's roots
)
Claire Barber choked back tears when her cheque was revealed - then said it would help her trace her late father's roots.
The retired pharmacist's travel plans will definitely include Sri Lanka, where her dad spent a bit of time as a child.
She said: "I want to look at the animals, but I want to discover where my dad lived and grew up. He loved it there, so I want to connect with him a bit."
Claire said husband Ian will probably want to add to his classic car collection.
She added: "I'll spend my winnings pretty much on travelling and I think my husband will want a classic car. I can't deny him that. He likes his classic cars."
The neighbours all signed up for the Postcode Lottery to help support local, national and international charities.
One local charity - Wakefield Hospice - has been awarded £75,000 thanks to funds raised by Postcode Lottery players. The hospice first opened its doors to patients in April 1990 and is committed to providing the highest level of symptom management and care for people who have advanced active, progressive and life-threatening illness. They endorse a holistic approach in promoting quality of life for patients as well as providing the continuing support offered to families and carers.
