TWO people in Newton Abbot are celebrating today after winning £1,000 each thanks to their lucky postcode.

The Neville Road neighbours netted the windfall when TQ12 1PU was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Wednesday, April 15.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners. He said: ’I’m thrilled for our winners today! What great news for them, I hope they enjoy 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 over 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 benefitted from players’ support, and local charities can next apply for funding in August.
