One lucky Brigg woman has won £30,000 in the People’s Postcode Lottery.

Joanne Shearwood from Coronation Gardens was the only person playing with the winning postcode DN20 0AE on Sunday, May 14.

Joanne said she is still in shock over the win: “I can’t believe it! I know everyone says it but I didn’t think that something like this would ever happen to me.

“The money is going to make a huge difference – for me, £30,000 really is life-changing. I’ve got some debt to pay off and my car is on finance, so it’s great that I’ll be able to pay those.

“I’ll also be able to treat myself and my daughter to a trip abroad in the school holidays. The security that this brings us is the most amazing thing.”
