Woman thought she hit the Postcode Lottery jackpot until she opened her prize
One People's Postcode Lottery winner has been left floored after a man in red turned up at her door and handed over her prize - it was the last thing she was expecting to open A woman was left floored by her Postcode Lottery win and it's far from what she expected. Rachael, an artist who goes by the name Rachael Robinson Art, participates in the People's Postcode Lottery and was delighted when a man in a red knocked on her door and handed her a prize. In a video on TikTok, she shared: "Well, this is an unexpected parcel in the morning, isn't it? From the Postcode Lottery. Is this my invitation? Are you knocking on my door soon? "Because, I mean, the guy at the door was in red, but he didn't hand me like a ridiculously sized envelope that then had £240,000 in it. I got this." In the clip, Rachael held a small brown parcel up to the camera that boasted a Postcode Lottery sticker on the top that read "Congratulations". Unsure of what could be hidden inside, she began opening the package while on camera and said, "If this isn't one of those envelopes, I'm going to be mad." Taking the prize out of the box, Rachael looked puzzled and asked: "What is it?" After a closer inspection, she discovered that it was a "never fall down mug". Baffled by her unexpected win from the Postcode Lottery, she exclaimed: "What?" before adding, "You're not even funny, you're not. You're not funny at this point. This is an insult. No one wants your mug." Rachael admitted that while she likes a mug, she still wants her "oversized envelope". In the caption she wrote: "@postcodelottery what you playing at! Here's me ready for my life changing money." In the comments, she added: "Someone knocked at my door… without money." People's Postcode Lottery has shed light on how winners can claim non-cash prizes, stating: "Throughout the year you can check using the Prize Draw Calendar for a full list of any non-cash prizes available each month. "If you're lucky enough to win one of these prizes, you can enjoy them or gift them to family and friends. Prize Vouchers for our Lotteryshop." If you strike it lucky, you will receive a voucher code, which you can use at the Lotteryshop. The shop offers a selection of over 30 enticing prizes. In addition to that, there's a chance to snag an e-Gift card, which is spendable across various nationwide retailers.

'People say I'm rich for winning Postcode Lottery but prize leaves them floored'
A mum-of-two was shocked after learning her husband entered their family in the People's Postcode lottery without her knowing – and she got a prize she never expected A woman revealed she'd been lucky with the People's Postcode Lottery – and people are seriously surprised by her winnings. Laura, who is passionate about side hustles, often shares her money saving hacks online. And recently, she opened up about what it was like winning a prize in the draw. She joked: "Guess what I've just won, the Postcode Lottery. Now I know what you're thinking - Laura, you must be minted, 'how much did you win?', well I'm about to show you. Jeff Bezos ain't got nothing on me because I've won the Postcode Lottery." The mum-of-two admitted it wasn't quite what she expected, but she seems to be happy all the same. Instead of getting a large amount of cash, she received some items in the post. Laura confessed her husband entered without her knowledge, then picked out some prizes after winning. She pulled these winnings out of the cardboard box with glee. She got four bars of Tony's Chocolonely, L'Occitane skin care, a Pyrex glass storage container, as well as some oven mitts with hens on them. How wonderfully random! Laura added: "Best believe when the parcel came I range my husband and said, 'did we win?, are we rich'. And he told me that we won the option to pick four different items from the website and this is what he chose. "I have no idea what any of the other options might have been so let's pray he picked some good ones... Maybe next time, we'll become rich." People rushed to comment on the video, also not realising that you can get gifts as prizes. One individual said: "I never knew they did prizes like this, I thought it was just money amounts." Another commented: "I thought it was all money prizes. I'm here for the Pyrex and the Tony's." People's Postcode Lottery clarified how non-cash prizes work, and said: "Throughout the year you can check using the Prize Draw Calendar for a full list of any non-cash prizes available each month. "If you're lucky enough to win one of these prizes, you can enjoy them or gift them to family and friends. Prize Vouchers for our Lotteryshop." Players will receive a voucher code they can redeem in the Lotteryshop, where there are typically over 30 different prizes to chose from. You may also win an e-Gift card, and you can spend it at a range of pre-selected national retailers. Plus, you could win a letterbox voucher which is redeemable against a range of preselected prizes.
