Residents of Lancaster are celebrating after winning a share of £3.2m on the People's Postcode Lottery - with eight players scooping a whopping £200,000 prize.
The biggest winners, who were from the Marsh area of Lancaster with postcode LA1 5RS, have won £200,000 on the April Postcode Millions draw.
In total 752 people in Lancaster are celebrating after their postcode area, LA1 5, was announced as the winner - with the remaining 744 residents receiving cheques ranging from £1,965 to £7,860.
Winners included James and Amie Walling, who were presented with their £200,000 prize by TV star Danyl Johnson (pictured below), one of the group of celebrities who regularly appear on the People's Postcode Lottery television adverts.
When Amie pulled the £200,000 cheque from the envelope, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"I'm shaking, thank you so much!" she said.
"I can't believe that. You never think you're going to win that amount. It's life-changing for us.
"It's something we never thought we would achieve. I'm lost for words."
Amie and James then shared a hug with Danyl, who shot to fame when he reached the finals of The X Factor TV talent show in 2009.
The couple said they are planning to buy a new house with their winnings.
Also winning £200,000 were Ria and Ross Plawecki (pictured below).
"That's absolutely incredible!" said Ria, when she opened her envelope.
"It'll make such a difference to people round here."
People's Postcode Lottery is a subscription lottery which raises money for charities. Players sign up with their postcode and pay £12 per month. They are automatically entered into every draw and prizes are announced every day of the month.
The Lottery is known for its TV ads with the 'Someone's knocking at the door' theme tune (taken from Paul McCartney and Wings' song 'Let 'Em In') and its other ambassadors include Jason Donovan, Jeff Brazier and Matt Johnson (pictured below).
Danyl Johnson, who visited the Lancaster winners at their homes to present the prizes, said: "I couldn't be more pleased for all our lucky Lancaster players!
"What a great way to kick-start the bank holiday weekend - no doubt there will be plenty of celebrations taking place. Congratulations Lancaster!"
