How the number three secured my lottery win just a day after life-changing move – I can’t believe it came true
ONE woman has won £30,000 just a day after a life-changing move and also dreaming about the winning number.
Jo was left stunned after her prediction about her People's Postcode Lottery winnings having something to do with the number three came true.
The Royal Mail worker and her husband Steve won the People's Postcode Lottery with five other neighbours in Liverpool.
Every winning ticket on their Palmerston Road street was worth £30,000, with a total of £210,000 won.
Jo has been playing for around 10 years and bought a ticket for her husband to celebrate his 50th birthday.
Jo said: "Steve said, 'do you have a number in mind?' I said, 'I just keep thinking of three. It's three, it's three, it's three'. And it's thirty thousand!"

The couple already have a Mediterranean cruise booked, but after their win Steve said, "Might get a balcony room!"
Steve said: "I was trying to convince myself that it wouldn't be any more than a thousand, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sleep for the week.
"So I was thinking it's going to be a thousand and anything more than that will be a bonus.
"Funnily enough, that's what our cruise is costing - £1,000 each - so it would have paid for our cruise."

The win has come at an exciting time for the couple, who have just had an offer accepted on a new house after a previous sale fell through.
Jo said, "Yesterday we found out we had the house and today we found out we got sixty thousand."
Meanwhile neighbour and globetrotting dad-of-six Edward says he has Singapore-born wife Nancy to thank for his win - and will buy her a designer bag as a thank-you.
He said: "Nancy came over from Singapore and saw it on TV and said, 'why don’t we do it?'
"She's always wanted a Chanel bag, so I'll buy her a Chanel bag. That will be a nice little present for her. It's all about Nancy."
