A MAN who won a £166,666 People’s Postcode Lottery jackpot says he knew he was going to win after an omen just hours before.
Tony Frater, 69, shared a £1million prize with five neighbours in Staplehurst, Kent – including his daughter Kelly.

Everyone in the winning postcode gets a share of the whopping cash sum.
Mum-of-two Kelly, 40, presented Tony with his cheque moments after scooping her own “life-changing” lotto prize.
But retired engineer Tony said he had already twigged the jackpot was coming his way.
Tony said: “The weirdest thing was that Abba’s song ‘Money, Money, Money’ came on the radio this morning.

“I said, ‘That’s an omen!’
“Before that, five short power cuts had the wireless doorbell ringing out every time the power came back on.
“But nobody was at the door.”
Tony now plans a big family holiday with Kelly, her brother Marcus and his wife Sharon to celebrate his 70th birthday later this year.

He said: “We’re both retired, and we’ll be able to do things without worrying about anything.
“The security is the biggest thing.”
Sharon added: “We can take the whole family away for Tony’s birthday.
“It’s his treat but he’ll be paying.”
It comes after a woman whose sister-in-law won a £9.3million jackpot slammed her for giving a “stingy” gift .
