New Ollerton residents celebrate lottery win

The neighbours netted the windfall when NG22 9QY was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Tuesday April 7.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes to the winners and said: “What a lovely way to start your day! Congratulations to our winners, I hope they treat themselves to something nice with their winnings.”

In the April and May draws, People’s Postcode Lottery will be doubling the amount of postcodes winning £1,000 every day, with forty postcodes receiving the daily prize.

A minimum of 32 per cent 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 Maggie’s which has received over £16.1 million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Maggie’s runs a network of cancer support centres across the country. These centres bring people together to help combat the isolation and distress that often accompanies a cancer diagnosis.

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