A MUM is celebrating after winning a life-changing £333,333 in the Postcode Lottery – but her lucky neighbour managed to double that prize with a savvy move. Angela Plant, from Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire, was left “speechless” when she discovered her postcode, WD5 0NH, had scooped the Millionaire Street prize.

Bubbly Angela, still reeling from the shock, immediately vowed to use her winnings to spread joy among her loved ones and doesn’t want them sitting in the bank. With a wish list that includes exotic holidays, a Greek wedding for her eldest son, and special trips for friends and family, she has no intention of saving for a rainy day. “This year has been up and down, so I’m going to make sure all my close pals and family are looked after,” she said. “You don’t want profit in the bank; you want to go out and spend it!” Angela’s post-win plans include a Florida holiday for her soon-to-be-born granddaughter, a box at Leeds United for her partner, Andrew, and girls’ trips with her closest friends. Her windfall comes just days after her birthday, capping an extraordinary year in which she and Andrew marked their 40th anniversary with a civil partnership ceremony, followed by a nine-week backpacking adventure across Asia. The trip saw the daring duo explore Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Bali, a dream journey that was made even more remarkable by Angela’s newfound mobility following knee replacement surgeries. “I had knee replacements a few years ago, and it’s changed my life. I climbed hills and monuments on holiday — things I never thought I could do.” Despite her newfound fortune, Angela has no plans to quit her job as a companion at an old folk’s home, where she enjoys caring for elderly residents. In fact, she was due back at work the very next day, a reminder of the down-to-earth nature that has kept her grounded throughout this whirlwind experience. “I’m going to work tomorrow. I love it, and it keeps my mind buzzing,” she said. Angela’s win has also benefited local charities, as part of a £1 million pot distributed to good causes through the Postcode Lottery. Looking ahead, Angela is eager to continue her adventures, with plans for trips to Japan, China, and Singapore. She feels the world has opened up to her, thanks to both her knee surgeries and her lottery windfall. “I can go where I want now,” she said. “We’ve worked our socks off, and this gives us the chance to do more.” However, the victory is bittersweet for Angela, who lost two friends this year. In their memory, she plans to treat her remaining friends to a much-needed lift, showing just how much joy a lucky postcode can bring. How to play the People's Postcode Lottery?
