One People’s Postcode Lottery winner has been left floored after a man in red turned up at her door and handed over her prize – it was the last thing she was expecting to open
A woman was left floored by her Postcode Lottery win and it’s far from what she expected.
Rachael, an artist who goes by the name Rachael Robinson Art, participates in the People’s Postcode Lottery and was delighted when a man in a red knocked on her door and handed her a prize.
In a video on TikTok, she shared: “Well, this is an unexpected parcel in the morning, isn’t it? From the Postcode Lottery. Is this my invitation? Are you knocking on my door soon?
“Because, I mean, the guy at the door was in red, but he didn’t hand me like a ridiculously sized envelope that then had £240,000 in it. I got this.”
In the clip, Rachael held a small brown parcel up to the camera that boasted a Postcode Lottery sticker on the top that read “Congratulations”. Unsure of what could be hidden inside, she began opening the package while on camera and said, “If this isn’t one of those envelopes, I’m going to be mad.”

Taking the prize out of the box, Rachael looked puzzled and asked: “What is it?” After a closer inspection, she discovered that it was a “never fall down mug”.
Baffled by her unexpected win from the Postcode Lottery, she exclaimed: “What?” before adding, “You’re not even funny, you’re not. You’re not funny at this point. This is an insult. No one wants your mug.”
Rachael admitted that while she likes a mug, she still wants her “oversized envelope”. In the caption she wrote: “@postcodelottery what you playing at! Here’s me ready for my life changing money.”
In the comments, she added: “Someone knocked at my door… without money.”
