00:00Hi, I'm digital reporter Amy Seddon and a street in Lancashire is celebrating after winning over half a million pounds in a postcode lottery.
00:09Watch on to find out how they'll spend the money.
00:123, 2, 1, go!
00:14Woo!
00:17The town is like the best town to live in and the street is amazing.
00:21Everyone's so friendly and looks out for each other.
00:24Like, yeah, amazing, isn't it? We're so fortunate.
00:28Emma lives in the corner. She's my son and daughter's best friend.
00:32So they've just got married.
00:34Money back in the bank now.
00:36So it's amazing.
00:38To win with all the neighbours, yeah, it feels fantastic.
00:40It's good community spirit on Garden Village.
00:43So to see everybody else win as well, yeah, brilliant.
00:46We're planning a large holiday to Majorca in September, so it'll come in handy towards that and maybe a few others.
00:52Young family, we just have a little boy.
00:55Don't cry.
00:57Yeah, yeah, we've got a little boy and he's taken a big chunk of it.
01:04The whole weekend from when we got the phone call to right now has just been so surreal and hard to sleep.
01:10Yeah.
01:12I was just paying for the petrol in the garage as Steve was just pumping and the phone had gone off
01:18and I'd just got the text message to say please ring this number.
01:23And I just thought, okay.
01:26And then when it was said it was a postcode lottery, it was just unbelievable.
