A British couple the lottery jackpot not once, but twice within a mere three weeks in an astonishing stroke of luck. But Neil and Hayley say they have an effective strategy that helped them secure the wins, not luck.

The couple’s journey to fortune began just three months after they settled into their new home in Spring Vale Garden Village. According to Neil, an electrician, "We just bought the house three months ago. I got a £10 prize the first month and now £30,000 (Rs 33.28 lakh)."

Neil attributes their unexpected success to a straightforward but effective strategy: they began participating in the People’s Postcode Lottery immediately after moving in. Their methodical approach paid off when their postcode was drawn again, granting them a subsequent cash prize, albeit smaller than the first.

They believe this simple, legal trick can be replicated and help with the cost-of-living crisis in the country.

The initial windfall of £30,000 for Neil and Hayley was just the beginning. Their postcode win spread joy throughout Spring Vale Garden Village, and then more residents participated and collectively won the lottery. In a massive win, 18 residents won a collective prize of £540,000 (Rs 5.98 crore) sparking celebrations among the community.

Residents are now planning holidays, parties and thinking about how they plan to use the money.
