A lucky English woman has continued playing the lottery despite her husband’s qualms. This proved to be the right decision as she eventually won a jackpot of £200,000 (approximately $253,500).
Sally, from March, Cambridgeshire, was a regular People’s Postcode Lottery player who had an active subscription. However, her husband, Jonny, was unhappy with that and asked her to cancel her subscription two months ago.
Luckily, Sally never did, eventually winning the life-changing sum. As the couple claimed the jackpot, Jonny felt somewhat embarrassed and was happy that his wife had opted to ignore his plea.
Commenting on the occasion, Jonny joked that Sally never listens to him. In this case, he is glad that she ignored him, he added.
Sally also chimed in, saying that she wouldn’t have listened to her husband anyway. She noted that she was surprised to win such a big sum and that this win meant a lot to her.
Jonny pointed out that Sally is a medical worker who works very hard at the hospital and said that she deserves this win. He said that the £200,000 win was a dream come true.
As for the couple’s plans for the jackpot, Sally and Jonny said that they are not currently planning something too grand like moving to a luxurious destination. Instead, they’d rather remain in March and spend more time with their family.
However, this doesn’t mean that the family isn’t going to travel a bit. In an interview, Sally revealed that she and Jonny are planning a trip to Florida with their kids for 2025.
