Stuart and Sarah Ware-Lane, unaware they were both playing the Postcode Lottery, discovered their combined three winning tickets netted a staggering £214,284. Sarah, 49, held one ticket worth £71,428, while Stuart, 48, had purchased two tickets in secret, contributing £142,856 to the total prize. The couple only found out about each other’s participation four weeks ago – Stuart had mistakenly thought he was paying for Sarah’s entry, and Sarah had no idea Stuart was playing.
