Wedding bells for lottery winning Haywards Heath couple

Their postcode was announced as a winner of the People’s Postcode Lottery on Monday, November 2.

Sam McCloskey, 31, a health and safety worker, was one of the winners picking up a cheque.

He said: “This is mental! Superb! I never thought I’d be in this position. This will go a long, long way.”

The win has come at a great time for Sam and his fiancé of two years, Kirsty, who unfortunately had to postpone their wedding due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Sam said: “Our wedding was meant to be in July this year but has been postponed until next year now, fingers crossed.

“It’s all planned but there are still some things we need to sort out so the money will be very beneficial for that.

“It will also help go towards a honeymoon when we can go. I’ve always wanted to go to St Lucia, but she wants to do South America.

“We will have to see who wins that argument, probably her.

“We’ve been together for 13 years, so it’s been awful timing with everything happening, but I’m just over the moon with this.

“It will really help us out.”

When asked how Kirsty would react to the news, Sam said: “This will blow her socks off!”
