£10,000 March Draw Winner

“I’ve been part No1 Copperpot most of the 28 yrs I’ve worked for GMP but have only been part of the Friends of No1 CopperPot Prize Draw for a few years. I entered because I always forget to do the lottery so thought if I join Friends of the No1 Copperpot then I don’t have to remember to pay each month, the money is taken straight from my wages which is perfect for me. I honestly never expected to win, especially such a large amount of £10,000, but it really shows that you have to be in it to win it!

When I got the call on 28/03/25 I missed the call, after I listened to the voicemail asking me to recall I was not sure, but I did recall the same day. When I was told that I was a winner I thought it might be a scam and almost hung up! I’m so glad I didn’t, and it’s been smiles ever since!

This win has made a huge difference- it’s being used to pay off some debts, to have some jobs done in the house and maybe treat myself and my son to something nice. It’s definitely made life a little easier. I would highly recommend entering the draw, as you just never know!
