Bedfordshire neighbours scoop lotto cash just before Christmas

Four people in Flitwick are celebrating Christmas a little early today after learning they’ve each scooped a cash prize of £1,000 thanks to their postcode.

The James Place neighbours landed the windfall when MK45 1GW was announced as a Daily Prize winner with People’s Postcode Lottery on Thursday, December 24.

People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Judie McCourt sent her well-wishes and said: “A big congratulations to our winners, what a great surprise to get on Christmas Eve!

"I hope they have a lovely festive holiday and enjoy their winnings.”

A minimum of 32% of ticket sales goes directly to charities and players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £600 million to date for thousands of good causes in Britain and beyond.

This draw was promoted on behalf of NSPCC which has received more than £5.2 million in funding thanks to players. It is the country’s leading children’s charity and works to end child abuse and neglect in every community.

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