Residents celebrate weekend Postcode Lottery win

On Saturday, residents of a postcode in Billinge woke up to the news that they had won £1,000 in the draw.

Those living in WN5 7NP, on Ross Lane, won the prize if they were signed up to the Postcode Lottery.

The Postcode Lottery is a subscription lottery which aims to raise money for charities while also bringing cash prizes to homes across the UK.

Prizes include the weekly Millionaire Street prize and monthly £250,000 or Postcode Millions prizes.

Every day, there are £1,000 prizes to be won for every ticket in 20 postcodes. If you play with two tickets, you receive double the winning prize amount.

Players can sign up with their postcode and pay £12 per month with a chance to win when they are automatically entered into a draw.

Players have raised more than £1.7 billion through participating in the Postcode Lottery for thousands of good causes in Britain and internationally.
