Me and my neighbours won share of huge £4.4million lottery jackpot – some of us even won TWICE
A NURSE who netted £100,000 after winning the lottery TWICE reckons she and her neighbours must live on Britain's luckiest street.
Sally Yearnshire, a 57-year-old gran of eight, was among fifteen residents in Killham, East Yorks., to win six figures playing the People's Postcode Lottery.
In total, 14 locals living in the street, which is called West End, scooped around £4,000 each in 2019. This month, many then claimed another £100,000 from an overall jackpot of £4.4million.
And one anonymous winner scooped an eye-watering £200,000 after playing two tickets in the draw.
Sally, who treated some of the UK's first Covid patients, told : "I can’t believe it. I didn’t dream as big as £100,000.
"You just don’t think it’ll be you and it’s happened twice."

She snapped up a hot tub with her 2019 winnings.
Another of the winners, 42-year-old Stephen Artley, said he couldn't believe his win was real after banking a second win.
He has in fact moved house but decided to keep playing the draw because of the "lucky" postcode's 2019 win.
