A great-grandfather who has survived cancer three times has won £60,000 in the People’s Postcode Lottery.

Bill Puffett, 80, was announced as the winner on Christmas Eve and said that he “nearly fainted” after he was presented with the cheque on his doorstep.

Mr Puffett said his wife Linda retired from her job as a senior care worker the night after they were informed of the news.
