**High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire** – Two next-door neighbors in High Wycombe are celebrating a double lottery win after each pocketed £166,666 in the People’s Postcode Lottery’s Millionaire Street draw. David Baldwin and Bob Moorhouse, who live on the same street (HP13 5SY), were both surprised winners, with Baldwin’s win particularly poignant as he had only recently rejoined the lottery after cancelling his subscription last October.
Baldwin, a father of three, expressed his relief and delight at winning, especially as his close friend and neighbour also shared in the fortune. “It’s nice to win with neighbours,” he said, adding that he had restarted his subscription in December after seeing an advert on TV. “It was a good job I did,” he chuckled. “I would have been gutted for myself!”
Moorhouse, equally astonished, joked about the shared win: “I’m glad he did start again because it’s nice to share in this whole thing, even though if he hadn’t, I would have gotten more!”
The pair, along with four other lucky neighbours, shared the £1 million prize, with each winning ticket worth £166,666. They celebrated with champagne in Moorhouse’s garden, much to the amusement of their partners. Plans for the winnings include flying lessons for Baldwin, a holiday to Mauritius, and perhaps even a campervan adventure. Baldwin’s wife Nicola noted the amusing coincidence of the winning amount containing her lucky number, ’66’.
Moorhouse, a dad-of-two, plans to treat his twin granddaughters and take his fiancée and mother-in-law on a mini-break.
The win also brought a significant boost to local charities. The Postcode Community Trust awarded £50,000 to The Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Service South Buckinghamshire (RSASS), £75,000 to Social Link, and £50,000 to Addiction Family Support. These funds will support vital services within the community. The winning draw was part of a promotion benefiting Postcode Education Trust, which supports educational charities worldwide. People’s Postcode Lottery players have raised over £1.4 billion for good causes.
The story highlights the unexpected joy and community spirit surrounding the lottery win, reminding everyone to check their numbers.
