Lottery windfall comes just at the right time for these Bedford neighbours

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

The Chiltern Avenue neighbours netted the windfall when MK41 9EL was announced as a daily prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Monday (May 25).

And it couldn't come at a better time as many of us are struggling for cash during the coronavirus outbreak.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Danyl Johnson sent his well-wishes to the winners. He said: “What a great surprise to start your week. Congratulations to our winners.”

A minimum of 32 per cent of ticket sales go directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised more than £500million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

This draw was promoted by Ramblers which has received more than £8.8million in funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Ramblers is dedicated to looking after the paths and green spaces of Great Britain and works to create happier, healthier communities.
