I thought I’d scooped just £10,000 on the Postcode Lottery – I was shocked when it turned out to be a HUGE amount more

A POSTCODE Lottery winner who thought she scooped £10,000 was astonished to discover the real figure.

Three neighbours in the latest Millionaire Street in Poole, Dorset, were met with with the coveted 'knock on the door' on Saturday 14 September.

One of the lucky winners was Amy House, 40, who works on the maternity ward at Poole Hospital.

Amy, who scooped £250,000, revealed how she initially believed it would be a five-figure sum, likely on the lower end.

But when discovering the truth, Amy said: "Oh my goodness! Is this a dream?

"I told myself it might be ten, twenty, thirty maybe... I never expected six figures.

"I'd really like a new front door."

Amy said the win could help speed up the completion of an extension to the home she shares with husband Tom, who is an electrician.

Tom has been using his spare time to work on the extension in between his day job.

But now the couple are hoping to use some of the winnings to complete the renovation sooner and spend more time together as a family.

The mum-of-one also said she wants to buy a campervan for the family so she can visit her brother in California.

The thrilled NHS worker added: "Maybe that would be something we'd look at just so we can go off odd weekends with our little boy somewhere and have a bit of a break from the extension, which might be finished."

Amy was beaming as she admitted her and her young family were now spoilt for choice and was keen to get travelling.

She said: "A little holiday definitely. Maybe a family holiday and a fun holiday for our son."

Along Millionaire Street a few doors down were winners Brian Lewis, 65, and wife Chris who received a whopping £250,000.

Brian said: "I feel absolutely stunned - quarter of a millionaire!"

Chris added: "No! Oh my God. Is that really real?"

The couple said they might have to take a holiday to figure out what to do with the money.
