A street in Sussex is celebrating after several residents won big on the People's Postcode Lottery.
Five houses in the winning postcode bagged £200,000 for each ticket.
Barbara Cartmel, who lives in a seaside apartment overlooking the English Channel, was one of the winners.
After the win was revealed, she said: "I didn't think at my age I could be so excited about anything again. When you get to 80, you think you've seen everything and done everything.
"I imagined I’d maybe won £1,000, and I’d have been chuffed with that.
"Then this young lady from Postcode Lottery came to my door and I thought, well, that must mean it’s a bit more than that!"
She added: "It’ll probably sink in when the money hits my bank account. That’ll be the moment I think, ‘Wow, that really happened’."
