Two sets of neighbours scooped a whopping £90,000 thanks to the Postcode Lottery.

Sittingbourne's Wayne Mitchell and his fiancée Michelle were handed a cheque for £30,000 while their neighbours in Borden Lane, Martin and Julie, were awarded £60,000 after they bought to tickets.

Mr Mitchell, 46, works as a self-employed electrician and was with his fiancée and three-year-old son Edward when he was given the prize on Saturday.

He said: “I was quite astounded when I saw the amount I had won.

"We’re in the process of renovating our house and this will mean we can get it finished much sooner than expected.

“I have a feeling Michelle will enjoy spending the win more than me. My daughter is at university so she’ll definitely want a chunk of it too.

"I’m really looking forwarding to just relaxing and enjoying the win.”

Mr Kite, 64, doubled his prize to a staggering £60,000 thanks to playing with two tickets.

Both he and his wife Julie were jetting off to Iceland just after receiving their cheque.

Mr Kite said: “We’re going on holiday today so we’ll be celebrating there. We’ll need to get a decent bottle of champagne, this definitely calls for it.

"It will be an extra special Christmas too and I’ll be able to get some great presents for my kids."

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson presented the winners with their cheques and said: “I’m chuffed for Wayne and Martin. It sounds like they’ll both enjoy spending their prize money and treating themselves.”

With a minimum of 32% from every ticket going to charity, players of People’s Postcode Lottery have now raised £361 million for over 4,000 good causes across Great Britain and internationally.

A number of local Sittingbourne charities have benefitted from the funding raised by players, including Space 2 Be Me, which received £6,400 last year to run employability workshops for young people with special needs.
