Ten Northampton residents feeling grand after scooping People's Postcode Lottery prizes
Charities win, too, as Grange Park addresses pick up £1,000 in weekend draw
Ten Northampton neighbours were feeling just grand over the Bank Holiday weekend after scooping £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.
The housholds from Wake Way in Grange Park netted the windfall when NN4 5BF was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Saturday.
They will not get the People’s Postcode Lottery gang knocking on their door due to Covid-19 restrictions but ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners: "What a fantastic surprise for our winners. Congratulations to them and I hope they have fun spending their winnings.”
A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £600million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.
Saturday's draw was promoted by The Ramblers which has received over £10m in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. The charity works to protect and expand the places where people love to walk.
Many good causes close to the winners also benefit from players’ support, and local charities can apply for funding next year.
