Residents on the Leidsevaartweg in Heemstede were surprised this evening when their doorbell rang around half past seven. The Postcode Lottery organized a small party in the otherwise quiet street. A total of eight residents benefited from the street price of 200,000 euros.
Another resident Manoeska has only been a member for a month. She talked about it a few weeks ago with her neighbor Karin, who participates in the lottery every month. “Then I said to her: I have a good feeling about it. I am also participating. And look.”
However, neighbor Karin is not present. He is at a theater performance La Mancha in the La Mar. She immediately receives a call from the neighbors, who give her the good news via Facetime. Karin has to miss the party at the Leidsevaartweg, but they assure her that she will definitely receive the amount paid.
In addition to the cash prize awarded by presenter Gaston Starreveld, residents Robert and Marielle were also allowed to take a seat in a brand new bright red BMW. They look at each other, a little bewildered. “We’ve been dreaming about it for years. Our house is under construction, so we can put the amount to good use. And then also the car.”
