Ellesmere neighbours are celebrating after their lucky postcode bagged them £1,000 each in the People’s Postcode Lottery.
Three residents won £1,000 each after they were announced as a daily prize winner on Friday, August 14.
Their SY120AA postcode was drawn as the winner, and People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners.
She said: “What brilliant news to kick start your weekend. Congratulations to our winners, I’m sure they’ll be celebrating tonight!”
A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £600 million to date for thousands of good causes in the UK and beyond.
This draw was promoted by Girlguiding which has received over £5.8 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
Girlguiding is active in every part of the UK, giving girls and young women a space where they can be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friendships, gain valuable life skills and make a positive difference to their lives and their communities.
Many good causes close to the winners have also benefitted from players’ support, and local charities can now apply for funding.
