‘I’M SO HAPPY, I COULD CRY!’
CHRISTMAS came early for a grandmother of nine who won a share of £150,000 last month. Sandie Livermore, 62, scooped £30,000 when her postcode was announced as a winner with People's Postcode
Lottery on Sunday, November 29.
Sandie, who works in administration for a metal company, was at work when she found out she’d won during a video call with People’s
Postcode Lottery ambassador
Matt Johnson.
When she saw her cheque, Sandie got tearful, saying: “This means so, so much. I was going to be pleased with a grand but I’m ecstatic now – it’s like all my Christmases have come at once.
“Look what you’ve done to me, you’ve made me so happy I could cry!”
The £30,000 win means Sandie, who has nine grandchildren and three children, can treat her family to an extra-special Christmas this year. She said: “Not being allowed to see anyone just now has really affected me with my children and grandchildren. Now I can get them something without having to think 'oh have I got enough money to get that' and it'll give us a little nest egg for a rainy day too." One of the reasons Sandie signed up to play was to support good causes. She said: "I just love the fact that it's helping charities. I've got two Chihuachuas who mean the world to me, so it's good to know ticket fund are helping charities close to our hearts like Dogs Trust.” People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Matt Johnson said: “It was my absolute pleasure to speak with Sandie and to surprise her with a lovely big cheque – it’s one of the best things about my job. “I hope she has a wonderful Christmas and I’m sure the other lucky players in Shoeburyness will be just as delighted with their prize.”
