Gary Hamilton, a 64-year-old exam invigilator from Dartford, Kent, has won over five thousand pounds on the free online lottery, Pick My Postcode!
Gary, who also works as a match day steward at Lord’s Cricket Ground and volunteers with the Imperial War Museum, recently saw his postcode picked on Pick My Postcode for the second time. Gary first joined Pick My Postcode in 2017. Back in 2018, he previously won £10 on the Stackpot draw along with his Bonus which was £23 at the time. After his first win, he continued to check the site diligently, sometimes a couple of times a day, and built his bonus. His patience has paid off as over the years he grew his bonus substantially, meaning that despite once again only winning £10 on the stackpot draw, he walked away with an incredible £5,877.80 in total.
When asked how it felt to win for a second time, Gary said: “It was a big surprise to win again and the money will certainly come in handy.”
As for how he plans to spend his winnings, Gary admitted he hasn’t decided just yet. “It could go towards a holiday or something for the home,” he said.
Gary went on to say: “It’s real and it’s free to play. My winning twice just goes to show that patience and perseverance pays off!” Gary hopes there’s a hat trick of wins in his future, as after a win your Bonus doesn’t reset when you win. It only continues to grow if you keep checking the site.
The site offers multiple opportunities for your postcode to be picked every single day. Pick My Postcode has 14,009 active members in Kent and since 2011, the residents have won a total of £98,965.09. Gary’s second win proves that checking Pick My Postcode takes only moments but could make a real difference.
