Sarah Kendell, 47, celebrated after bagging £1263.85 on the free online postcode lottery website Pick My Postcode. The winner’s perseverance has paid off after checking the website every day since 2017 to see if she won any of the 17 daily draws.
Ms Kendell said she is still excited about the surprise award, as she’s never won a lottery draw before. ‘Believe it, I had been playing for a few years and won nothing, but I kept playing and it finally happened!,’ she added.
