Rushden neighbours celebrate with lottery win

Two people in Rushden are celebrating after winning £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.

The neighbours netted the windfall when NN10 0QE was announced as a daily prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery today (Thursday).

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners and said: “What brilliant news for our winners, a big congratulations to them.

"I hope they go 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 promoted by Crisis which has received more than £3.8 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

Crisis is dedicated to ending homelessness and helps approximately 10,000 people each year through education, housing, employment and health services across England, Scotland and Wales.

Many good causes close to the winners have also benefited from players’ support, and local charities can next apply for funding in August.

People in the north of the county have been on a winning streak with the Postcode Lottery recently, including some winners from Wellingborough earlier this week.
