Somerset man won Postcode lottery jackpot worth £370M

A lucky man from Somerset named Ted Owen won a whopping sum of £370 million playing postcode lottery.

“I reckon I’m the luckiest man in the luckiest town in the world. I usually buy one ticket but for some reason, I bought two that month and it sure paid off," he told lottery officials. 

He used some of his winnings to take his family of three children, their partners and his granddaughter on a nine-day £15,000 cruise around the Caribbean and South America.

Mr Owen said his win won’t change him. “I’ve never been an impulsive person and I won’t start now. I’m going to use what’s left of the money to help my family out financially whenever I can.

In the United Kingdom, the postcode lottery is the unequal provision of services such as healthcare, education and insurance prices depending on the geographic area or postcode.
