A WALLYFORD resident kickstarted the week with an extra £1,000 in her bank account after her postcode was drawn as the winner of People’s Postcode Lottery’s daily prize.

Elaine Di Troia, 65, of Fa’side Avenue South, scooped the win on Monday, playing with postcode EH21 8AJ.

She said: “I got a phone call on Monday.

“It was amazing and a lovely surprise.”

Elaine, a member of Wallyford Community Council, plays the People’s Postcode Lottery with £10 direct debit each month.

“There are so many charities asking for money I decided to take part in the People’s Postcode Lottery as it gives loads of money to different causes,” she said.

Elaine, who works as a school auxiliary at Sanderson’s Wynd Primary School in Tranent, said she was thinking about saving her winnings to help fund a family trip to Walt Disney World in Florida to celebrate her husband Colin’s 60th birthday in two years’ time.

Radio DJ Judie McCourt, People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador, said: “Well done to our winner in Wallyford – I hope they have a grand time spending their prize.”
