They doubled their winnings to a whopping £393,056 thanks to playing People's Postcode Lottery with two tickets
Most of us dream of being lucky enough to win the Lottery once - but one person managed it twice in one draw.
The thrilled player was among 606 people from Cwmbran in Wales who shared a £3million jackpot on People's Postcode Lottery.
They were one of the six biggest winners pocketing £196,528 but when officials broke the good news - delivered before the lockdown - they realised they had bought two tickets so were actually due a whopping £393,056.
The remaining winners received cheques ranging from £2,387 and £9,548, depending on how many tickets they play with.
Local finance worker Louise Harris was among the big £196,528 prize winners. She said: “I’m totally speechless. I never expected to win this kind of money and the champagne will definitely be popping tonight.
"Since hearing my postcode area had won, I haven’t been able to stop singing the ‘someone’s knockin’ at the door’ song. I’m ecstatic.”
Louise has a few ideas on how she’ll put her winnings to good use, including a few treats for her nine-year-old daughter, Daytona.
She added: "Daytona had her heart set on a dressing table for her bedroom. She kept saying ‘it will be a big win, mum, I’m sure’ and she was right! I’ve also always wanted to take her on a safari holiday. South Africa would be top of my list and thanks to winning, I’ll be able to make it even more memorable for us both.”
Nursery teacher Joanne James, 43, and her husband Huw, also landed £196,528.
She said: "This is going to make a huge difference to us. Our children, Tom and Georgina, both have bad eyesight, and this means we’ll be able to get the operation that our Georgie needs.
"That just by playing we are helping raise money for charity is hugely important to me. I lost my mum to cancer and I suffered so badly with the loss. What charities do to support people is just incredible and so important.
"It was the loss of my mum that pushed me to retrain and become a nursery teacher – I know that all she’d want is for me to be happy. One day I’ll maybe be able to open my own nursery now.”
People’s Postcode Lottery ambassadors Judie McCourt and Matt Johnson hosted the special winners’ event at Cwmbran Stadium.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, 40, romped to victory, with 33% of those quizzed clearly dreaming about his good grasp on figures.
He was followed by Chief Secretary to the Treasury Stephen Barclay, 48, in second place with 21% of the vote, and First Secretary of State Dominic Raab, 46, third with 12%.
Labour’s top man Sir Keir Starmer, 57, came in fourth with 10% of the vote, leaving Prime Minister Boris Johnson, 55, trailing at No8, with just 3%, and ex-Labour boss Jeremy Corbyn, 70, nowhere to be seen.

The survey of 3,045 (clearly bored in lockdown) people was carried out by marketplace giant OnBuy.com after there had been an increase in searches for the marital status of MPs.
OnBuy.com CEO Cas Paton said: “It seems the nation have taken a shine to Rishi Sunak.”
Hotness might not be what you are thinking about during the daily No10 updates, but for those who are, sorry, all the top 10 are married or engaged.

Furthermore, only three are from Labour. I’m sure that’ll leave a lot of them seeing red.
In recent weeks, Davina McCall was hardly able to hide her admiration for Rishi during BBC's Big Night In.
On the show, Davina made the announcement that the government would match donations pound for pound, at which point she introduced Rishi.
"Here to confirm that," she revealed, "Is Chancellor Rishi Sunak - in a lovely top!"
Rishi, rocking a tight grey top, appeared on a video link to urge viewers to reach into their pockets and donate generously.
"What better way to mark four weeks of staying in and watching TV," he said.
"Enjoy the rest of the show, and stay safe."

Newborn baby found dead at recycling centre 'was dumped in a skip with rubbish'
A newborn baby girl found dead at a recycling centre was dumped in a skip and had been brought in with the rubbish collection, police believe.
The baby is thought to have been secretly placed among rubbish in a skip before it was picked up by a lorry in the area of Ipswich, Suffolk.
The skip was one of several which were returned yesterday to the Sackers Yard Recycling Centre in Needham Market, Suffolk.
Horrified staff at the site discovered the body as they sorted through the waste for recycling, and immediately informed police.
Officers were called to the plant where the baby's dead body was found shortly after 3pm on Thursday.
Detectives say their current priority is concern for the mother of the baby and they are urging her to come forward and seek medical attention.

They are also trying to establish which skip the baby was in and where it had been used for waste collection before it was emptied at the depot.
DCI Eamonn Bridger, leading the investigation for Suffolk Police, said it was "impossible to tell at this stage" whether the girl was alive or dead when she was dumped.
He said: "We are in the process of arranging a Home Office post mortem. Until we have the results of that, we would not be able to say.

Deep in the government 's strategy for lifting lockdown - page 39 , to be exact - is its sole mention of the homeless .

And today , in a prime example of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Manchester Evening News reveals that Boris Johnson has `` quietly pulled the plug '' on its policy to house the homeless in order to protect them , and others , from Covid-19 .

mirrornews@mirror.co.uk (Fleet Street Fox)

Boris Johnson is effectively going to cull rough sleepers, says Fleet Street Fox. And rough sleeping is about to rocket
The government just made a decision which will mean coronavirus is never eradicated in the UK
Deep in the government's strategy for lifting lockdown - page 39, to be exact - is its sole mention of the homeless.
It states: "Outbreaks amongst the socially excluded - whether through poverty or homelessness - are likely to be especially difficult to detect and harmful, since people in these groups may lack the means to isolate themselves when ill."
And, er, that's it.
No suggestions of what to do about it. No plan for avoiding what sounds like thousands of deaths among the most vulnerable people it is the government's job to look after.
Just an acknowledgement they will fall ill, infect others, and die in ways that are unknown and untraceable.
As anyone who doesn't use chauffeur-driven cars knows, the homeless are in fact easy to find. They are in every bus and train station. They ride the Tubes, trams and metros. They do not cycle. They do not walk to work. They do not isolate, or recover, in their holiday home.
And today, in a prime example of local news reporting challenging the national agenda, the Manchester Evening News reveals that Boris Johnson has "quietly pulled the plug" on its policy to house the homeless in order to protect them, and others, from Covid-19.
The government is less than thrilled with the news, and insists its cancellation of funding is not the same as withdrawing it. If anyone can tell the class which dictionary they're using, please let us know.
The thrust of its argument seems to be that housing the homeless in hotels was the first step, and they are now moving on to the second step of more permanent accommodation. Whether they expect the homeless to pay their own rent at this stage, or whether the local authority is expected to do it for them, is unclear. But as "90% of those known to local councils at the start of the crisis" have been "offered" something more permanent, the government says, it's job done.
Only problem is, Manchester knew about 600 people on the streets in March, and another 500 in shelters. A further 400 have been made homeless during the pandemic, and a total of 1,573 have been given hotel rooms.
A mere 120 refused to go, or were too anti-social so were kicked back out again. Which all means that the carefully-worded government response implies only 540 of those 600 initially on the streets have been offered somewhere, and that might not even have been accepted.
That leaves at least 1,033 in Manchester alone with no funding for their hotel rooms, and no offer of other accommodation. And the Labour-run city council, and Labour mayor Andy Burnham, are left with a headache.
Either they find the money from somewhere else, or let them back out on the streets to run the gauntlet of coronavirus, drugs, crime and abuse they were just starting to escape.

Because this scheme worked brilliantly. The MEN reports that only 7 people developed symptoms of the disease, while there were "vast improvements in person hygiene, re-connection with friends and family, access to health support and treatment". Many, it says, broke their drug habits.
It was cheap, too. The government provided only £3.5million nationwide, whereas in Manchester alone they spent £2m. By providing the seed money, and the motivation, the government at a stroke did more than any other in living memory to end homelessness and all the problems that beget and beset it. And then - according to a report prepared for the local authority and leaked to the MEN - it thought "nah, f*** it".
The government decided this having seen all the many improvements it had wrought for very little cash, at the same time it was warning about a massive recession, huge job losses, potential tax increases or wage freezes.
Also at the same time, private landlords are about to be released from their obligation to not evict tenants.
So this is all happening just when homelessness is about to rocket.

The decision to cancel funding for hotel rooms just 8 weeks after lockdown began is little different to a cull of rough sleepers, whose immune systems will be no more capable of overcoming coronavirus than that of a 50-stone diabetic smoking 50-a-day.
It creates a safe space for Covid-19, where - as the government admits in its lockdown strategy - it will be untouched by tracing or treatment. And this is just Manchester. How much worse will it be, when you factor in Glasgow, Liverpool Leeds, Bristol, Newcastle... and London, with 8m people and 28m Tube journeys a week.
Johnson has all but guaranteed that when thousands more have lost their jobs and been evicted, when many of us have stopped distancing or wearing masks, and the winter flu season starts up once more, there will be plenty of people vulnerable to the ruthless pruning of coronavirus.
Covid could be eradicated, with mass testing and effective tracing. But part of that would have to include holding the homeless close. Instead, the government has chosen to never be rid of coronavirus because, despite all its bending of language and logic, it is simply not prepared to do "whatever it takes".
