A DAUGHTER was left fuming after her mum pocketed a cool £320,000 on the People’s Postcode Lottery, after she advised her to start playing.
Grandmother and mum-of-four Ann told how won the sizeable sum just a year after her daughter Lisa persuaded her to sign up.
Daughter, and mum-of-one Lisa joked: “I’ve been playing for quite a few years and I’m thinking she’s a bit jammy, I’m not going to lie.”
Ann, from Woodbridge, Suffolk, said the win was “unbelievable”.
She said: “Oh my God. Flipping heck. It is unbelievable. This sort of thing never happens to me. I’ve only been playing for a year.
“I thought it would be between £4,000 and £10,000, maybe even £30,000. This is beyond my expectations.”
Ann added: “My daughter told me about the Postcode Lottery, and I thought that at least it was money going to charity, so I might as well.”
The gran was in the money, along with three neighbours, in the picturesque harbour town of Woodbridge, near Ipswich, Suffolk, after IP12 1JP was announced as the winner of People’s Postcode Lottery’s Postcode Millions prize worth £3.2million in total.
Every ticket was worth £320,000.
Ann is now planning on revamping the terraced home she’s lived in for almost 30 years, as well as sorting out family – and maybe a holiday to a favourite destination.
The retired shorthand typist said: “I’ll get the house done up and decorated. Get a couple of new sofas and carpets.
“Things that I thought would maybe just last me out.”
She added, “I will definitely be helping the family out, too, and possibly a holiday.
“I like Greece, maybe somewhere like that. I haven’t had time to think.”
Postcode Lottery presenter Danyl Johnson said the wins made the sun shine a little brighter on Woodbridge.
He said: “It was a beautiful day when we turned up on the street in Woodbridge to present the bumper cheques to our lovely winners.
“The sky was a clear blue when we arrived, and I think the sun was shining even brighter by the time we left.”

Just days earlier, a man put his Postcode Lottery win down to karma after he helped out a tourist.

Earlier in August this year, a lucky player doubled their £200,000 Postcode Lottery win by using a clever trick.
Jo Deighton from Shoreham, West Sussex, was gobsmacked when she scooped nearly an eye-watering quarter of a million pounds.
Another couple were overwhelmed to win an eye-watering £300,000 on the Postcode Lottery – after nearly missing out.
