Is this the luckiest street on the Fylde coast?
Six neighbours living Birch Way were stunned at the weekend as their postcode was drawn as a winner for People’s Postcode Lottery’s Saturday Street Prize.
Five of the lucky ticket holders picked up £30,000, each, while one couple doubled the win to £60,000 thanks to playing with two tickets.

Receiving the cheque with his wife Sheila, he said: “I’m speechless to be honest.
“Any amount of money would have been great, but this is just a fabulous surprise.
“We’ve not had a holiday in a few years so we’ll definitely spend it on that.”

The other three winners, who were also handed cheques for £30,000 each, did not want to be named.
Sandra said: “I’m absolutely amazed – just shocked. My husband Gary and I haven’t been away for a long time so we’ll be booking ourselves a nice holiday.
“I think it’s time to stop being sensible all the time and allow ourselves this treat.”
