FOUR neighbours in Kelty have hit the jackpot after winning a cash prize of £30,000 each.

The Blair Street residents landed the money as KY4 0ET was drawn as People’s Postcode Lottery’s Street Prize winner yesterday (Wednesday).

Cleaner Margaret Conners, 59, couldn’t believe her luck when she was presented with the prize.

She said: “I’m so excited. You just don’t think something like this will happen to you.

“I’m not sure what I’ll spend it on – maybe a nice holiday.”

Her partner, local window cleaner Eric Robertson, laughed: “I know what she’ll spend it on – clothes!”

Shop assistant Gina Marshall, 56, also won a £30,000 prize.

She said: “I can’t believe it! I’m still in shock. My husband William thought it was a scam at first when I told him we were getting a visit, and I think it’s still sinking in for both of us.

“It’s lovely that our neighbours have won with us too and that local charities have benefitted from us playing. It’s great for the community.”

The remaining winners couldn’t be there to collect their prize, so the money will be paid directly into their bank accounts.

The prize is part of People’s Postcode Lottery’s special summer campaign in which one postcode is announced every day throughout its July draws and everyone who plays in it wins £30,000.

Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson presented the winners with their cheques. He said: “A massive congratulations to our Kelty winners! I hope they have a fantastic time treating themselves with their winnings.

“This is the start of a very busy month for us at Postcode Lottery, and I hope I’m back in the area with some more big cheques soon!”

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and good causes.

Players of People’s Postcode Lottery have helped raise more than £450 million to date for good causes across Great Britain and internationally.

This draw was promoted on behalf of Unicef, which has received £5.1m thanks to funding raised by players.

The lottery has also helped several Fife charities.
