Penkridge Millionaire Street

Kelly said she’s convinced her beloved younger brother Nathan is watching over her since he tragically passed away last year.

And, as she tearfully hugged partner Micky Withington, the mum-of-three said: "It’s a little gift from my brother to let me know he’s still there.

Kelly shared £1 Million with 12 other neighbours in Penkridge, Staffordshire, after ST19 5EX landed our weekly Millionaire Street prize. Every ticket was worth £76,923.

Now the family want to revisit Mexico - and transform the garage into a room for their son.

Kelly said: "It means everything… big changes. We weren’t going on holiday this year, but the dream would be to go back to Mexico. We went last year and the kids loved it."

Eric now has a bucket list to work through - and a holiday will be first.

The biker grandad said: "It’s become lists that you wouldn’t believe. A new kitchen, holiday, I might get a new car… or a new motorbike instead. And we’ll look after our son and grandson."

Pauline and husband Roger, who now live in an over-55s apartment block, will treat the family - and may go on a dream holiday.

The mum-of-one added: "We’re just back from Menorca. Roger has always wanted to go to Hawaii, but we might just see what the family want to do and go on holiday. Anywhere… as long as we’re together."

The neighbours all joined the Postcode Lottery to support local, national and international charities.
