TWELVE people in Oldham are celebrating after winning £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.
The Turner Street neighbours netted the windfall when OL4 3JB was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery.
People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners. He said: “Congratulations to our winners! What a great surprise for them, I hope this news has made their day.”
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 promoted by Ramblers which has received more than £8.8 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Ramblers is dedicated to looking after the paths and green spaces of Great Britain and works to create happier, healthier communities.
Many good causes close to the winners have also benefited from players’ support, and local charities can next apply for funding in August.
