SIX lucky Pickmere residents are celebrating after each winning £1,000 thanks to their postcode.

The Wellfield Close neighbours netted the windfall when WA16 0LW was announced as a daily prize winner with the People’s Postcode Lottery on Thursday, October 22.

Matt Johnson, People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador, said: “A big congratulations to all those who have picked up a prize in Pickmere.

“I hope the win will help lift their spirits and they treat themselves to something special with the cash.”

A minimum of 32 per cent of People’s Postcode Lottery ticket sales goes directly to charities and players have raised more than £600 million to date for thousands of good causes.

This draw was promoted on behalf of Barnardo’s, which has received more than £5.2 million in funding thanks to players.

Barnardo's works to transform the lives of the UK's most vulnerable children through essential services, campaigning and research.

The children’s charity works directly with more than 300,000 children, young people and families.

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