The four North East postcodes to scoop prizes on the Postcode Lottery this week

The lottery runs every day, giving players the chance to win £1,000 if their postcode is drawn, with prizes increasing based on the number of tickets.

North East winners from this week’s daily draws include one postcode in Newton Aycliffe, Redcar, South Shields and Norton in North Yorkshire.

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

Players enter using their postcode as a ticket and pay £12.50 a month to take part in each draw.

It unveils daily prizes for postcodes across the UK, including £30,000 jackpots for every winning ticket in a postcode on weekends, and £1,000 prizes for 20 different postcodes every day.

The lottery not only gives cash prizes but also helps raise funds for charities in the UK and beyond.

To date, players have raised more than £1.7 billion for thousands of charities and community projects, with winners changing every day.

Featured in the list of supported charities are Maggie’s, Dogs Trust and the NSPCC, who have all benefited from funding.
