Woman from Newton-le-Willows is a Poundland ‘Grand in Your Hand’ Winner!

Poundland today revealed that Gaynor Baker from Newton-le-Willows is one of the first lucky customers who’s won £1,000 in-store - just by shopping at Poundland.

Last week Poundland launched an all-new ‘Grand in Your Hand’ promotion that would see 30 of its customers right across the UK win £1,000 for each of the following 30 days.

Thirty customers chosen at random are set to receive an instant cash prize this month when they pay at any of the discounter’s 3,000 manned checkouts in any of its 750-plus UK stores.

And today Poundland confirms that one of the first winners is a Poundland shopper from Newton-le-Willows who’ll be receiving £1,000 in their bank account in the next few days.

Gaynor, 67, won her prize by checking out at Poundland’s St Helens store last week, visiting the Poundland store at the Ravenhead retail park to buy sandals and suncream.

Regular Poundland shopper Gaynor stepped out of the store £1,000 richer after manager Joe Potter told her the computer had selected her to be an instant winner.

Gaynor said: “I couldn’t believe my luck – it was the anniversary of my son’s death and my husband who was with me thought I was going to cry.

“I’m going to use the money to have a few days away in Chester and the Lake District with friends.”

Poundland St Helens store manager Joe Potter said: “It’s amazing that one of the first thirty winners is one of our regular shoppers. We couldn’t believe it either! It just goes to show that we really do offer amazing value here at Poundland!”

No additional purchase is required to take part in ‘Grand in Your Hand’. Poundland customers simply check out as normal and the computer systems at each store selects a shopper at random each day to win a life-changing grand in their hand.

‘Grand in Your Hand’ adds even more excitement to shopping at Poundland which already confirmed earlier this month that it had introduced new in-store displays at its stores to underline its commitment to be the home of the pound.

Loud and proud in every store are over 1,000 grocery items at £1 or less to bring the amazing value Poundland promises its customers.
