Cheshire cousins share in £1m prize on Postcode lottery

Margaret Livens and cousin Joyce Ablitt, both 72, built a pair of semi detached houses with their husbands on land gifted to them by their grandfather 47 years ago.

And because they are the only two houses, the local council said they would have to name the street – and get their own postcode.

Now they are celebrating after CH64 9YA in Little Neston, Cheshire, cracked the jackpot in Postcode Lottery’s weekly Millionaire Street prize.

Retired secretary Margaret and hubby Harry, 73, each picked up £333,333 with individual tickets – and widow Joyce bagged the same, making it a real millionaire street!
