The sister of a Great Train Robbery victim won a big prize in the Postcode Lottery. This happened over 60 years after her brother was hurt during the robbery.

Nancy Barkley, 80, won a third of the £1million prize. She plans to buy a home with her husband, Colin. Nancy thinks of her late brother David Whitby, who was attacked by the robbers.

Nancy said people know the robbers' names, but now they remember her brother David. She thinks he might be happy for her.

Nancy Barkley thinks of her brother, a Great Train Robbery victim, after winning the lottery.

Nancy said the win is unbelievable. She didn't expect to win such a big amount. She thought £1,000 would be a good win, but this is much more.

Nancy and her neighbors shared the £1million prize. Each ticket was worth £333,333. There's a special connection to a famous crime behind this win.

Nancy's brother David was the fireman on the train that was robbed in 1963. The robbers got away with £2.6million, which is worth over £50million today.

David Whitby was hurt during the Great Train Robbery.

The robbers became famous, but the victims were forgotten. Nancy remembers the night her brother was attacked. The robbers changed the signals, so the train stopped.

Nancy's brother got out to check the signals, but the robbers had cut the wires. He walked into the gang without knowing.

David thought one of the robbers was a railway worker. But the man grabbed David and pushed him down a bank.

The train driver, Jack Mills, was also hurt during the robbery. He never fully recovered.

The robbers attacked Jack Mills and handcuffed him to David. They warned them that some of the gang were very violent.

Jack Mills died in 1970, and David died two years later. Nancy thinks they both suffered from the trauma of the robbery.

Nancy believes the robbers got too much attention. The victims were forgotten, and it took 50 years for people to remember them.

The Great Train Robbery happened in 1963. A Royal Mail train was targeted.

Nancy remembers a movie about the robbery, but it didn't mention the victims. She thinks the robbers were made to look like heroes.

A memorial service was held for the victims, and a plaque was put up at Crewe Railway Station. Roads were named after Jack Mills and David Whitby.

Nancy's husband, Colin, put the Postcode Lottery ticket in her name because he thought she was lucky.

Colin said he told Nancy she was the lucky one, and now it seems he was right.

Nancy plans to buy a home with her winnings. She and Colin only rent now, but this changes everything.

The couple moved back to Crewe after retiring to Wales. They had to move back due to health problems.

A road in Crewe has been named after David Whitby, the Great Train Robbery victim.

Nancy had breast cancer and was very ill. But she's recovering now and hopes to enjoy their winnings.

The couple has already told their family about the win. One of their daughters thought the photos were fake at first.

Nancy celebrates with her husband, Colin.

The family has been lucky in competitions before. Colin won a cruise in 1995.

Nancy said they'd never been abroad before, but they went to many countries on the cruise.

Despite their win, the couple doesn't want to spend too much. They like simple things and don't drink.

Nancy's happy to help her family, including her daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

May is a big month for celebrations, with several birthdays, including Nancy's. She thinks May must be their lucky month.
