Two people in Northampton win £1,000 each in People's Postcode Lottery

Two people in Northampton were celebrating over the weekend after winning £1,000 each in the People's Postcode Lottery.

The Kiltie Street neighbours netted the windfall when NN5 4FR was announced as a 'daily prize' winner on Sunday (August 2).

Singer and People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador, Danyl Johnson, said: “What great news to get over the weekend!

"Congratulations to our winners, I hope they go and treat themselves with their winnings.”

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised more than £500 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

This draw was supported by Depaul, a nationwide charity for youth homelessness which has received over £10.8 million in funding from the lottery.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players’ support, and local charities can apply for funding from today (Tuesday), according to the lottery.
