Imagine moving to a new city and scoring a life-changing windfall just weeks later! That’s exactly what happened to Amrutha Chingoroth, who was left totally speechless after winning nearly £400,000 through the Postcode Lottery. Freshly settled into her Cardiff city centre high-rise, Amrutha’s decision to sign up for the lottery paid off big time, proving that sometimes fortune really does favour the bold!
Amrutha, originally from London, moved to Cardiff with her husband just three months ago. In what she now calls her “lucky place,” a simple ring of the door intercom brought news of her surprising win. “I never imagined this much money,” she said, visibly amazed.
With her newfound wealth, Amrutha is planning a luxurious business class trip to India, marking her first-ever flight upgrade. “It’ll be amazing,” she shared, excited about experiencing the journey in style. The couple is also dreaming of revisiting Santorini, where they celebrated a romantic anniversary—now with the possibility of recreating those cherished memories.
Amrutha admitted she initially had doubts about the win. “I didn’t believe if it was real,” she recounted, even double-checking online to ensure everything was legitimate. When the Postcode Lottery team arrived at her building to hand over the cheque, the reality finally sunk in amidst the cheers of her thrilled neighbours.
But it’s not just Amrutha benefitting from this stroke of luck. Her win means local charities are also in for a treat. Organisations like Rubicon Dance and Oasis Cardiff have already received generous support, thanks to the lottery’s share of contributions.
It’s heartwarming to witness such a joyous start in a new city. For Amrutha and her husband, Cardiff is more than just home; it’s a place where dreams turn into reality. Cheers to exciting beginnings and the serendipity life sometimes brings!
