Rushden residents' delight as Postcode Lottery comes knocking on their door

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

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

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners.

He said: “Congratulations to our winners.

"I’m sure this news has made their day and I hope they treat themselves to something nice 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 Woodland Trust which has received more than £13.1 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

It is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity, owning more than 1,000 different woods across the country.

These woods support a wide range of plants and wildlife and attract thousands of visitors each year.

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