Mum wins lottery TWICE with tickets husband bought before tragedy as Greater Manchester street scoops a fortune
When Lesley and Garry McNally’s children flew the nest two years ago, the Salford couple decided to resize and move into their dream bungalow.
“I’m happy that I’ve won, and the family have won,” she said. “But it is tinged with sadness, because we had played for a long time and Garry’s not here to see it. “This is where we would have lived forever. But eight months later Gaz had a sudden heart attack, five days after his 60th birthday. Incredibly, it's the second time the family has won a cash prize since Garry's untimely death. Back in July 2022, Garry’s Postcode Lottery tickets scooped £2,000 for his family. His son Alan now believes his dad is looking down on them all.
Her neighbour Chris Leonard, 64, landed the street’s biggest prize of £249,999, playing with three tickets. He added: “It was just a whim when we signed up for Postcode Lottery. We saw an advert on TV and I said to Elisa, ‘let’s have a go’.”
