Watch Horley restaurant manager's brilliant reaction to huge People's Postcode Lottery win

Antonio Urso found out he’d won £310,000 on a video call shortly before starting his shift at the Italian restaurant where he works. Seeing the cheque for the six-figure sum, Antonio shouted: “I won £310,000? It’s a joke? £310,000? Yes! Yes! Yes!

“I cannot believe. I cannot believe. I never won something like that. Never in my life. I can’t wait to go back home and tell my girlfriend.

“It’s a lot of money. This is a big help, and I cannot wait to see it in my bank! It’s amazing.”

RH6 8 was announced as May’s Postcode Millions winner on Friday 28 May.

Antonio and four of his neighbours each won £310,000, the biggest share of the £3.1 million prize, thanks to playing with the full winning postcode – RH6 8DG. The four other winners chose to remain anonymous.

Antonio was quick to think how he’ll spend his prize winnings. He said: “I’ll take a little holiday straightaway. Sicily – I’ll go back home to see my parents. For me family is very, very important. And whatever is left after I see my family, I’ll go for a little holiday somewhere in Spain. I will donate to charity as well.”

Prize amounts for the other lucky winners range from £1,588 to £9,528 depending on the number of tickets played with.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Jeff Brazier said: “Antonio’s reaction was just phenomenal and it’s one that will definitely stay with me. It’s always special hearing how our winners will spend their prize money, so it’s great that Antonio will be able to visit his family in Italy, as well as take a holiday away with his girlfriend and also support some good causes that are important to him.

“A big congratulations to all of our other lucky winners in Horley’s RH6 8.”
