Pamela Hiscocks, 79, and her husband Anthony, 82, have a history of luck. Anthony Hiscocks won their home in the 1960s through a competition run by developers, where the house originally cost £3,175. He also previously won the football pools with a syndicate.
The winning postcode was SN12 7HB. The couple plans to use the winnings for family, including their granddaughter Amy's wedding in August and their 60th wedding anniversary in October. However, there is confusion about the winners' identity, with some reports suggesting a couple from Hampshire won, but multiple sources confirm the Hiscocks from Wiltshire.
We’ve been lucky in the past, but this is just amazing. I can’t take it in. That’s big money. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d win that money. It’s so exciting.
The exact date of the win, the total number of their major prize wins, the developers' name, the current home value, and any tax conditions remain unknown.
We’ll spend the winnings on family. It’s family first, always family first. I always want to make sure my family are alright.
What a wedding we’re going to have. It would be nice to be able to treat my granddaughter and her boyfriend.
We can pay for everyone to have a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I’d like a cruise.
