A New Radnor resident couldn't believe his luck after winning tens of thousands of pounds on the People's Postcode Lottery.

Michael Attwood scooped £30,000 after his postcode - LD8 2TD - was announced as the winner of Sunday's Street Prize.

Mr Attwood said he's delighted with his win and he's planning to build an extension with his prize money.

He said: "I'm over the moon! For £10 a month it's so worth it to be part of all this. It's an easy way to donate a bit of money to charity as well as having a chance to win.

Welsh TV presenter Matt Johnson presents Michael Attwood with his £30,000 cheque.

"I'm going to have to think about what to spend the win on – I might build an extension which would be great."

Welsh TV presenter Matt Johnson knocked on Michael's door with his golden envelope containing the bumper cheque for £30,000.

Matt said: "Congratulations to Michael! I had a really fantastic trip in Wales to present him with his cheque. It was lovely to be in the green, green grass of home for the day! I hope he enjoys spending his win on his new extension."

With a third of the ticket price going to good causes, local charities such as Llandrindod Wells-based Play Radnor benefit from the funding raised by lottery players. They recently received £10,000 to create an innovative outdoor learning space for the children and young people of Radnorshire.
