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

The neighbours netted the windfall when NG18 5PX was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners: “What great news to start off your day! Congratulations to our winners, I hope they enjoy their winnings.”

A minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £500 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

This draw was promoted by the NSPCC which has received over £3.9 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. The NSPCC is the leading children’s charity in the UK, fighting to end child abuse and neglect in every community. It helps children who have been abused to rebuild their lives, protects those at risk, and works to find new ways to prevent abuse from happening in the first place.

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