Chief Ndiweni in £39 000 lottery win
United Kingdom-based Chief Felix Ndiweni received an early Christmas gift after he won £39 0000 through the Postcode Lottery last week.
Speaking to CITE in an interview, Chief Ndiweni said it came as a surprise to him as he had never played it before and was not expecting to win.
“In the UK we have the National Lottery just like any other country. So you buy a ticket and then you check whether they draw your number on that particular date. The one that I entered is the People’s Postcode Lottery. I had never played it before,” he said.
“This particular lottery was designed to help the community. So when you play it, you write down your address and you register with them. You then write down your postcode on the ticket. These tickets are drawn out almost daily. They may either draw out just your Postcode or several post codes around your area. From there that is when they will choose and select to say you have won so many tickets.”
Chief Ndiweni said he was amazed to have won the lottery on his first attempt. He said that as someone with no experience, he thought it was a scam for a moment.
