A LUCKY player who bagged herself \u00a3200,000 kept it SECRET from her husband for a special reason.<\/p>\n

Maria, from Llandeloy, Wales, scooped the life-changing jackpot in the Postcode Lottery Millionaire Street draw.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The unsuspecting mum-of-four was overwhelmed when she discovered the eye-watering win.<\/p>\n

"I feel sick. This is no chicken feed, is it? Never in my life would I have expected something like this," she told the Postcode Lottery.<\/p>\n

But Maria wanted to keep news of the huge windfall hidden from hubbie Chris.<\/p>\n

The college safeguard and disciplinary officer thought it would be better to wait until he got home from work-and planned a sweet surprise reveal.<\/p>\n

And, three other neighbours on the street also bagged prizes in the draw with the SA62 6LJ\u00a0postcode.<\/p>\n

This comes as another lucky punter scooped double the prize money in a Postcode Lottery jackpot by using one simple tactic.<\/p>\n

Darren, from\u00a0Plymouth, bagged himself the extra winnings in the Millionaire Street draw, which saw a whopping \u00a31million shared between eight other locals.<\/p>\n

Tracy Arnott, a former leading hand in the\u00a0Royal Navy, revealed she only bagged her prize because of a delayed house move.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another fortunate resident scooped\u00a0an entire \u00a3388k Postcode Lottery prize due to a quirk.<\/p>\n

The winner from\u00a0Runcorn\u00a0in Cheshire, was only the person playing in the WA7 2YN post code, meaning they kept the jackpot for themselves.<\/p>\n
